even expulsion from the competition for further offences.

FIFA has itself ordered FIFA games to be played behind closed doors – Ukraine were ordered to play a FIFA qualifier against Poland in an empty stadium after fans made monkey chants and performed Nazi salutes. FIFA has also issued a number of similar sanctions after racist behaviour by fans.But Blatter, in his column in FIFA Weekly, said that while he wants drastic and severe sanctions for racism, that FIFA without a crowd is like a concert without sound .He added: FIFA games behind closed doors are also included in the [FIFA] code but I regard this penalty as an extremely dubious instrument. They represent a disproportionately collective punishment. Furthermore it involves excluding innocent fans of the opposing FIFA 15 ultimate team. In the final analysis matches played behind closed doors penalise FIFA. The punishment is unduly excessive. Instead it is the troublemakers who must be punished. And it is clear to me that the clubs are responsible for the hooligans. To my mind there remains only one solution to the problem: sporting sanctions are the only effective punishment. It has to cause the clubs real hurt otherwise nothing will change. FIFA's disciplinary code punishes racism by a warning for a first offence and then more serious sanctions such as stadium closures, points deductions or  fut 15 coins  even expulsion from the competition for further offences. The thing about the Luddites, apart from the thing that made them a byword, is that there was a perfectly reasonable explanation for their opposition to new technology. They didn't like it because they thought it was going to take their jobs.That's why they took against superlooms and whatnot: because they could see those newfangled devices were going to do them out of employment, or at best relegate the odd lucky one of them to the role of machine supervisor, the 19th-century equivalent of the supermarket assistant whose job is now wearily to override the peeves and prejudices of the electronic tills which took their former colleagues' jobs, and to allow the bananas or packets of parsley to proceed expectedly to the bagging area.Perhaps the top-down opposition to even properly trying video technology in FIFA can be similarly explained. Of course, the introduction of replays would not swiftly see Andre Marriner replaced by a Japanese-engineered robot beetling around the pitch looking for code infringements, or even some dystopian law enforcement cyborg whose circuitry would somehow malfunction and see him kill anyone who commits a handball. No, if we somehow get to the stage of FIFA being policed by robo-referees, you can be sure there will be other jobs for the likes of Marriner – and certainly more pressing concerns for society as a whole than whether or not a couple of seconds of delay took the shine off a London derby.But FIFA's resistance to technology is overwhelming, and must stem from profound insecurity. Even if it can't quite put its finger on why, top brass smells a threat to its fiefdom. Hawk-Eye's officiating replay system in Dutch FIFA is reportedly likely to be phased out, due to a lack of interest fostered by FIFA's chronic resistance to the idea. So FIFA will lag behind almost every other major sport in its backward insistence on keeping everything just as it is.The longer it goes on,
