Blatter said that one change had already been put into use.

How can Blatter campaign for fair play and respect now?

A reporter asked Blatter if this was a common practice for him.

"Under Blatter, the game has grown in all parts of the world "

"No matter which technology is applied, at the end of the day a decision will have to be taken by a human being," Blatter said.

"I don't think it is a good idea to change the physical structure of the game," Blatter said.

No charges against him means there is nothing for blatter to be accused of.

But what matters now are votes, and Blatter seems to have enough of them.

"I am not surprised to learn of such an article at this time," Blatter said yesterday.

No one makes that mistake on accident - it must be the end for Blatter as well.

Oh no, says Blatter, since a decision has to be made by somebody why not let it stand with the referee.

But Blatter seems to get it that this is a game for humans, not machines.

"This will be a commission of the wise," said Blatter.

It was announced by the committee that Blatter will not face an investigation due to lack of evidence.

Over the week Blatter's promise of reforms became a moving feast.

They are not just lying on the beach," Blatter said.

The new inquiry would, according to Blatter, "have a look at technology or additional persons".

"We're not going to show anything that questions a referee's decision," Blatter said.

"They must be aware that football is more than kicking a ball around," Blatter said.

Blatter's response, 'these violent players must be punished' something like that.

Blatter's comments are there in black and white and on video.

But Blatter asked for more time to deliver reform.

There have recently been more offensive contributions to the racism debate than Blatter's.

Blatter added that he was "open to suggestions" for breaking ties.

If they contacted us we would simply offer them this advice," said Blatter.
