FOOTBALL:MICHEL PLATINI has warned FIFA they are making a "historical mistake" by introducing goal-line technology.

Trials are already underway to find a new system which can detect whether the ball has crossed the line during matches.
And if they are successful, the technology could even be used in the Premier League next season.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter insisted it was a "necessity" after Ukraine were denied a goal against England at Euro 2012.
However, UEFA chief Platini — who has always been against technology in football — disagrees with his FIFA counterpart.
Platini has been tipped to replace Blatter at the top of world football.
But he said: "For the moment, I am not the leader of FIFA. I don't know if I will be the next president of FIFA.
"But I think that the British and FIFA are making, for me, a historical mistake. It's a historical mistake. That's my view."

OFF THE LINE ... but Michel Platini argues Ukarine's ghost goal against England was offside in the build-up

Platini's idea of having two extra officials behind the goal has received mixed views for fans and pundits.
Speaking in a video interview with the Independent, he added: "I have a problem with technology.
"In three years of the Champions League and Europa League we have had no mistakes.
"Twelve times the ball went over the line and the additional referees saw it and decided.
"Many penalties and fouls — with the exception of Ukarine's 'goal' against England — were decided by the (refereeing) team.
"But why I am against the technology of the video referee is because on the Ukraine goal there was offside at the beginning.
"If you want technology for the goal — what do we do if it's offside before?
"It means that the action has to be stopped before. That's why I am against technology. Where do we go?
"Every time there is a goal we come back and at the beginning of the action there is a clear offside — what do we do?
"I am totally against it. Let's have humans. I remain consistent.
"It's not a question of goal-line technology — it's the question of the beginning of technology in football.
"That I am totally against it."
