Sepp Blatter might have indicated that football goal line technology will be debated in Wales at a football law makers meeting, but it now seems that the subject will not be discussed until October.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) technical sub-committee is due to meet on Wednesday but plans to only discuss one thing that was agreed to be on the table back in May.
Thus, the debate about the new technology will not take place until autumn.
A spokesman for the FIFA told reporters that this week will be focused on ratifying requests that have come about as a result of the assistant referees’ experiment which was started last year within the Euopra League. The spokesman added that the formal meeting will take place in October.
In March the IFAB first rejected the idea sating that it would be too disruptive and expensive to introduce.
However, after a series of high profile incidents that occurred at the World Cup finals, the matter was once again brought to the centre of attention. One of these events was a goal made by Frank Lampard in the game against Germany that was wrongly disallowed.
The president of FIFA had made comments that implied the debate would happen during this week even though it is now apparent that it has been pushed back. During the World Cup, Blatter stated that it would be silly not to discuss the allowance of technology at the FA Board meeting in July.
