All is not well behind the scenes at old trafford

Rooney this. Fergie that. Very boring already and it's only the beginning of the tedium.

This is far more interesting and important:

Quote:

Goalline technology has moved a significant step closer after the International FA Board agreed to re-examine the issue today. Ifab's business meeting in Wales ended with members – made up of Fifa and the four British home associations – agreeing to look again at the proposals, just seven months after the game's law-making body ruled it out. However they have ordered that any system to be considered will have to confirm within one second that a goal has been scored.

An Ifab statement said: "The technology would apply solely to the goalline, and only to determine whether a goal has been scored or not. The system must be accurate; the indication of whether a goal has been scored must be immediate and automatically confirmed within one second; the indication of whether a goal has been scored will only be communicated to the match officials."

A deadline of the end of next month has been set for companies to make a first presentation of their technologies to Fifa. A testing period will then take place with a number of companies to determine the accuracy of each system and this will be reported back to the Ifab annual general meeting on 5 March. The meeting also confirmed that independent companies will be appointed to test the various systems – so far 13 systems have been presented to Fifa.

If Ifab, whose eight votes are divided between Fifa (who hold four) and the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish FA's – decides there is a case for its implementation after the testing period, the matter will be put to the vote.

Ifab also heard an update on the experiments with an extra assistant referee behind each goal line. These are currently being held by Uefa in the Champions League, Europa League and Euro 2012 qualifiers, as well as by the French Football Association, the Moroccan Football Association and the Qatar Football Association. Further experiments will start next year in the Ivory Coast, Mexico and Brazil.

Too right. I bet he doesn't know what half the words in that statement mean. And he wouldn't know how to spell the other half.

That might have been written by Rooney but I echo his sentiments.

Yes, because he's a moron.

Russ, as you're here, 2 years, 2 trebles and a bucket load of goals and assists later, still think Eto'o is overrated? Still think Berbatov was the better choice?

2 assists and 2 goals tonight, in fact he's scored or assisted all 9 of Inter's CL goals this season. The man's a beast and quite possibly the greatest African player ever.

**Damien** · 20-10-2010, 21:46

Not bad from Bale, Spurs will have difficultly holding onto him. Especially if United are newly enriched from some kind of future transfer!

I highly doubt they are his sentiments.

So after coming second by a point (or a dodgy offside call) to a very strong Chelsea side that was scoring seven and eight against teams last season, and with the same squad with a few additions this season, hes worried about the squad strength.

He's using the whole Glazer thing as a way out, very clever by his agent but it wont fool anyone. I wonder if we will ever find out the real reasons why he wants to leave. Get rid of him in January and bring someone in that isn't mindwashed by their agent, preferably not a scouser.

Hmm will if United get Rooney money Hodgson is trying to tout Torres to his mate Ferguson before he gets sacked on Friday morning.

Expect Rooney to be on the transfer list later this evening according to Channel 4 news.

Ian Holloway with some interesting views

Everythings rosey in the garden then?
