Precisely.

Football is a sport which does not have automatic, scoring-based breaks in play. Thus it is an absolutely f**king dreadful idea.

Would decisions actually be resolved? Was that challenge on Delph last night a penalty or not? No-one is certain, even now.

Can you imagine how much attention managers will now get for the decisions they choose to review, or don't choose to review? A load more f**king guff piled high on to a sport which is utterly crushed under the weight of guff.
