We, as devoted football fans, would like to ask FIFA, and especially FIFA president Blatter to help improve the fairness in the game by using technology that is seen in sports as American Football, Tennis, Rugby and so on.

Reason for this petition is the last worldcup qualifier ''France - Ireland'' where France came out as winner because of a handball France player Thierry Henry made during the game. This and many other related situations ( schwalbes, offside, etc. ) has lead to the creation of this petition.

To rule out such unfair decisions by referees, we believe that the current system, which uses no sort of re-play or what so ever is outdated.

mr. Blatter, put aside your own beliefs and start to make this game fair again!

    • As an American now I can fully understand why Americans don't watch soccer. Ireland V France was a disgusting show of fair play and I beleive a re-match should be set starting from the Henry hand ball(not to metion there was offsides on the kick). Please step down from your position if you are unable to handle such situations. DISGUSTING

    • FIFA is not a fair or credible organization, and not even its president Joseph Blatter. He must go home after this shame, last of many others. Why France should be more important than Ireland? For the same reason because FIFA sponsors want to keep away advanced technology from football, I suppose...

    • FIFA, You have brought shame on this magnificent sport whose global interests you claim to represent. Get moving on this. You cannot undo the wrongs inflicted on Ireland but hopefully you can end this disgraceful pattern of inept officiating. Act now.

    • Henry also cheated Spain out of the 2006 World Cup when his dive led to the go ahead goal. I have no respect for that Rat

    • It's a disgrace what Henry got away with in the world cup qualifier, the match should be replayed.

    • First the seeding fiasco where FIFA changes the rules to favour the big nations, and then a blatant handball that incredibly goes unnoticed by the linesman. Bring in technology. And by the way FIFA, I love your online article about the game - no mention of a handball - and the comments section is blocked. Unfair FIFA, but it's all about the money isn't it?

    • Would make the game much fairer- it has been proven to work in other sports and leave less room for the frequent human errors made by referees
