Blatter's original comments appear to have been misunderstood

Goal-line technology will not be used in the Carling Cup final, a Football League spokesman has told BBC Sport.

Comments attributed to Fifa chief Sepp Blatter suggested technology to clear up goal-line incidents would be used.

Confusion may have arisen because Blatter is attending a meeting in Cardiff to discuss rule changes the day before the Millennium Stadium final.

"Something may have been lost in translation," said Football League spokesman Ian Christon.
