LEAGUE ISSUE CITY-PALACE STATEMENT

Posted on: Mon 17 Aug 2009

Following a request from Crystal Palace, The Football League has re-iterated that Saturday's match at Ashton Gate will not be replayed.

Football League Chief Operating Officer, Andy Williamson, said: "The Football League cannot sanction the replaying of this fixture . In any match the referee's decision must be final, even in a case such as this where there has been an error of judgment. To do other otherwise would be contrary to the laws of the game.

"With regard to the use of goal-line technology, The League has been saying for some considerable time that we would be happy to trial a prototype system in its competitions. However, until the law-making bodies of the world game sanction the use of any such system this cannot happen."
