UEFA have announced they will continue with additional
assistant referees in the Champions League and Europa League next season - but
not goal line technology.
The International FA Board (IFAB) gave their approval to the
extra assistants, one next to each goal, to be used in competitions following an
experimental period.

IFAB also gave the go-ahead to goal-line technology but, with UEFA president
Michel Platini a firm opponent, the systems will not be used in European
competition for the foreseeable future.

UEFA said in a statement: "In essence, the additional assistant referees
provide two extra pairs of eyes to monitor the game and ensure that the Laws of
the Game are upheld.

"They inform the referee of incidents of any kind that he may otherwise have
missed, particularly in key areas of the field like the penalty area and its
surroundings.

"The referee will remain in sole charge of the match, and the only match
official with decision-making powers."

A report by UEFA following Euro 2012 found there were many more accurate
offside decisions than in the past - explained by the assistant referees being
able to concentrate on offsides and leaving the officials next to the goal to
watch for foul play.

UEFA will continue with the use of additional assistant referees from the
play-off matches of the coming season's Champions League, and the group stage of
the Europa League as well as the UEFA Super Cup.

Will they ever learn!?

dzsfjkghjfxhjhf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD I HATE UEFA 

Platini!!!!!!! Fire Him!!!!!!!!

Platini is really a joke for UEFA......

Ok goal-line tech would have been great but it's not all that necessary. Let's face it, incorrect goal-line decisions are very rare. And Platini is not crazy, he honestly thinks it's not good for the game. He believes that if he gives the go ahead for goal-line tech, it won't stop there. Soon after wrong refereeing decisions in big international matches, there will be outcries for offside determining technologies, replay requests and what not. If these things do come into the game, it will disrupt the free-flow action of football. For example, we might see a team asking for a replay for a foul that was not given just to stop the opposite team from launching a counter attack. 
So for me Platini has made the right move.

Aaaarggghhhhhhhh!!!! Fuq u Platini

Lots of French are conservators!
I think conservators deserve death!
