BLATTER SAYS SORRY
by pkt_drfc Tue 29 Jun - 21:13:10
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has apologised to the Football Association over Frank Lampard's disallowed goal in England's World Cup defeat by Germany.
Lampard was denied a goal in Sunday's 4-1 defeat, even though his shot clearly crossed the line.
He said the debate on goal-line technology would be reopened when the International FA Board meets in July.
Blatter also said sorry to Mexico after Argentina's Carlos Tevez scored from an offside position in their last 16 game.
Lampard's strike came during a spell of England dominance and would have levelled the score at 2-2.
"It is obvious that after the experiences so far at this World Cup it would be a nonsense not to re-open the file on goal-line technology," said Blatter.
The Tevez goal - the first in Argentina's 3-1 win - was replayed on the screens in the stadium, meaning players and fans could see the officials' mistake.
"Personally I deplore it when you see evident referee mistakes but it's not the end of a competition or the end of football, this can happen," said Blatter.
"The only thing I can do is yesterday I have spoken to the two federations (England and Mexico) directly concerned by referees mistakes.
"I have expressed to them apologies and I understand they are not happy and that people are criticising.
"We will naturally take on board the discussion on technology and have first opportunity in July at the business meeting."

Sorry is no where near good enough Blatter! Probably Englands best chance to win the World Cup has probably vanished down to your inconsistancy... If that goal had counted, I'd have put my money on us scoring again as we would have been in very high spirits! We only defended like that at the end imo because the England team were so rattled by that decision it made them lose their focus.
Once again, thanks for ruining such a good sport, it does say something when you only even think about taking some sort of technology action when something like this happens against a big footballing country... Lets see now...
Ireland failing to qualify for South Africa due to Henry handball..
Mexico scored against by Argentina when Tevez was clearly offside..
Ivory Coast scored against by Brazils Luis Fabiano handballing it before scoring..
And now:
England Scoring a goal and it being disallowed because the officials didn't think it crossed the line..
It's obvious we need a lot more than goal line technology with these useless refs!
..... Ok everyone, my rant is over.
