FIFA REFUSE MORE VIDEO TECHNOLOGY TO HELP REFEREES !


During the recent IFAB meeting in Ireland, the use of more video technology to help referees during matches, was rejected by FIFA on the grounds that more information on the technology was required ! 

This technology has been used in Rugby matches for many years !  Has no one in FIFA ever watched a rugby match on Television ?  Rugby Referees appear very appreciative of the help they receive from videos.  The object is avoid wrong decisions when referees are "unsighted" !

This possibility as well as others, has often been proposed in this blog and elsewhere.  It is just another subject which could be part of a televised debate by candidates for the FIFA Presidency !

When will candidates get a chance to present their ideas on the reformation which FIFA and football in general needs ?

Is there no one, well known in the world of football or  television, who could promote or organise such a debate by willing candidates ?   Or would such a debate be considered  "undemocratic" by any of the candidates ?
