Fifa: no goal line technology

FA chief executive Brian Barwick could not hide his disappointment after FIFA decided against pursuing any further at this time with 'hawkeye' goal line technology.

Barwick said: "We are very disappointed.

"The FA has always been in the vanguard of wanting to help the referee and the assistant referee make the right decisions. We've always been champions of this.

"We were in favour of goal-line technology but there will be no more experiments and it will not be back on the agenda next year, or in the foreseeable future."
