Football FanCast columnist David Mooney feels it is about time technology was introduced to aid our referees.

On a popular forum which I post, there has been criticism aimed towards Graham Poll for giving decisions that were to ‘further his career'. He had said on Radio Five Live that all referees make decisions to further their careers and, when pressed on the matter, he explained how a bad decision he made got him sent home from the 2002 world cup finals in Japan.

Football FanCast columnist David Mooney looks at the latest rumblings at his beloved Manchester City and wonders why any fan wouldn't welcome the signing of Ronaldinho.

Manchester City seems likely to play their first UEFA Cup game of the 2008/09 season at Oakwell, home of Barnsley FC. Not because they'll be playing Barnsley, but because Bon Jovi are playing the City of Manchester Stadium.

Football FanCast columnist and City fan David Mooney is sad to see Sven go and wonders if Mark Hughes is the right man to take the club forward.

I've made my feelings clear in the past about Man City's choice to sack Sven. I have never been in favour of it and I think it's one of the most stupid things the club can do, and now it's happened.

Football FanCast columnist David Mooney is not a fan of FIFA's proposed 6+5 quota and feels it will prove detrimental to the English game.

Perhaps one of the biggest mistakes I made during the 2007/08 season was buying my mother an iPod for Christmas. She has hundreds upon hundreds of CDs and isn't very good when it comes to computers, so muggings here has spent the last two days saving the music into iTunes. And I'm not even half-way through.

Football FanCast columnist David Mooney has enjoyed the weekend's playoff finals and feels that it is a system that doesn't need tampering with.

It's playoff time once again and, I must say, the matches I've seen I have greatly enjoyed. But it's about this time every year when the pundits, mainly on the radio, question whether the playoff system is fair. After all, a team could, feasibly, finish third and miss out on an automatic place on goal difference, but lose to a team fifteen or so points behind them in sixth and so miss out on promotion altogether.
