Dave Whelan: "Referees cannot be right 100% of the time.

"They need help desperately. Had the referee been able to ask if there was anything wrong with the goal he gets the information.

"I don't understand why we don't break away from FIFA on rules like this and say we are going to turn to technology.

"We have to say to Mr Blatter, whatever you say, the Premier League will help our officials with more technology.

"Tell them, quite simply. Tennis, cricket, rugby, rugby league. Why not football? Why can't we get the decisions 99.9% correct.

"We have to think 'Is this a real world?

"We conceded a goal against Blackburn earlier this season when the lad dribbled it from a corner in front of a referee, two linesmen and a fourth official. That is unthinkable.

"Then we get the decision at Chelsea, when the lad is three yards offside.

"Had it happened to one of the big four clubs there would have been a lot more commotion. It happens to Wigan and gets brushed under the carpet. It is double standards."
