England lost in the quarter final of the European Championship tonight.
Ho hum. What’s new?
Well, technology is what’s new. If the men in the grey (albeit Armani) suits who control Football allowed technology into the game, England’s winning goal would have been allowed and the story would be different.
It’s not fair on the players. It’s not fair on the fans. And it’s certainly not fair on the referee. If the referee has any doubt about a match winning decision, why the hell can’t he see the replay, like everyone else?
So here’s a message to the men-in-grey-suits:
I know it was brave to allow referees to have the technology called “whistles” all those years ago. And that technology improved the game didn’t it? So, maybe allow some more of this new-fangled stuff into the game to prevent fuck-ups like this in the future. It worked once, after all.
Secondly, whose idea was it that Richard Branson could referee?
