Have you read or written a study into this or something? Observing the frequency of refereeing errors with and without extra officials? If you have could you give me a link to it, I'd be very interested to see the results.
I don't think so, Blatter isn't going for reelection, he hasn't much need for Politicking. Which meeting was this where he said GLT is bad for football? I thought there was a pretty marked change in this stance following Lampard's non-goal.
Platini's always been against it by the way.
I havent read a study on it, just using my personal observations. I would be interested in seeing some stats about it. I shall try do some research. I am sure they do help a bit but clearly they aren't eliminating the problem. Instead of trying to find alternatives to stop it just put in GLT and it will be done with.
Your "observations" are just what you reckon, and when you're relying on memories these observations are almost invariably inaccurate and biased, as such they are completely unreliable. Read and watch what Pierluigi Collina said.
There is no reason that bringing in GLT would render the Goal Line Officials obsolete. They are useful for spotting other things, eg. penalty decisions, and deterring other forms of cheating.
