Alternately, knowing the technology is rubbish he could have listened to the bloke on the spot who said it was touched - the Goal Umpire.
If it was only Vlastuin claiming it was touched you could argue that a review was justified.
Now you want the field umpire to overrule the goal umpire's request to go to the score review. It's the goal ump that requested the review, not the field umpire. The field ump just relays the request to the review bloke. I do like this idea though - "ok you've requested a review but the technology is crap so I'm going to deny that request and we'll go with your initial feeling". Hilarious.
No argument the technology sucks, if I had my way they'd ditch it completely, but then fans would have to accept that the umpires' decisions are final even though they are human and therefore fallible.
