This is just such a pathetic, obvious lie
"This was definitely not video evidence," Fifa spokesman Andreas Herren told BBC Five Live.
"I spoke with the senior person responsible for refereeing in the Fifa administration.
"He clearly told me the fourth official had seen the incident involving Zidane and had advised the referee through the headset.
"The fourth official saw it as it happened on the pitch and directly advised the referee and the referee took action. Full stop.
"It appears the referee was waiting for the situation to clear up a little bit before taking action."
What utter bollocks. If the 4th official had seen it in real time, and told the ref through the headset, we wouldn't have had 3 minutes of fannying around with the ref running over to the lino a couple of times. They really must think the fans are totally gullible.
