As has goal line technology. For absolute, black or white decisions it's brilliant.

Contentious decisions in NFL, even with the ridiculous start stop procedural nature of that game, are horribly drawn out and take 2-3 minutes sometimes to sort out. And then not everyone agrees with them. It'd ruin the flow of football entirely.

        Dunno about sendings off, but offsides should be video-reffed (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 11, 20:41:49
