I like how the NFL has limited challenges and put automatic reply review in play. I also think tennis has benefitted from instant replay. Baseball is starting to use it on certain plays too and that has ensured that the correct call is made. None of this fantasy fulfillment about tradition. It's about getting the calls right when the game is on the line.
Of course, it sounds like English football fans are content to tie and not at all concerned about the correct call being made.

to use another piece of anglo-saxon - you're talking bollocks. you might be content with stop-start, let's look at the t.v. sports, with yaaaaaawning intervals between seconds of action- which is what you get in NFL and ROUNDERS. football matches haven't got time for that.
