Sticking plaster remedy?

The referee behind that decision and his assistants - Uruguayan official Jorge Larrionda and assistants Mauricio Espinosa and Pablo Fandino - have been sent home by the football governing body, Fifa. They were told they are not being retained for the quarter-final stages and beyond.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter was also forced to apologise to the FA following the officials' inexplicable failure to spot Lampard's first-half shot had bounced two feet over the line when it crashed down off the crossbar. It prompted Mr Blatter into a U-turn over his belief that video technology should not be used in even the biggest matches.


Waaaaa! Bloody footie trauma....

Blatter will just stick in an extra linesman behind the goal like they tested out in the Uefa Cup.

Why does this man fear technology so much?

He doesn't seem to have a problem with selling on the telly rights for the football for Billions though!

Is it just coincidence that Blatte (pronounced Blatter) is german for Cockroach?

Did somebody 'cockroach' say?

It is a common misconception that, in my story 'The Metamorphosis', Gregor Samsa was into a cockroach metamorphosed .

In fact, in the text I do not a specific creature mention.
