Does anyone actually believe that Fifa are telling the whole truth in regards the Zidane sending off. I don't believe that the fourth official seen it in real-time.

Another thought, I now have the distinct impression that the Rooney sending-off was done in the same way. So much for TV evidence not being used in decisions. I am not disputing either sending off. I just get the impression that Fifa makes the rules up as they go along.

Mr Elizondo was involved in both decisions and I get the impression he never seen either incident.

zidane i can not comment on but fifa says the 4th offical say it maybe he did its his job to not look at the ball but off the ball stuff. The rooney one are you joking? the ref was like half a metre way if he did not see it he needs to pop to spec savers.

If you watch the referee he is facing in the opposite direction to the incident. That why I believe he did not see it. I may be wrong but if he can see Rooney he has the proverbial "eyes in the back of his head".
