[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 764129, member: 10441"] there definitely can be a balance maintained, and they have to be mindful of that. Game flow is affected with everything right now, TV timeouts, injury timeouts, measurement timeouts, timeout timeouts, replay timeouts, electrical failure timeouts, etc. I don't mind a couple reviews, or scoring reviewed but keep it quick. Fans need to be mindful of it too everytime they demand something be defined further, or things that should be available for review. Everytime you add something to the equation you get closer to the point of precipitation, critical mass, an unstoppable chemical reaction that once started you can't stop. You could add 10 kgs of something and it's the last .002mg's that put you past the point of no return. This catch stuff is getting closer and closer. There is no verbiage to encompass what appears to be a catch, without including a bunch of others that would be pretty weak catches. and some "catches" will be excluded because they can't be maintained long enough. At some point, make a rule and play by it and at some point, some guy has to make the call and move on. we can analyze it to death and there will always be questionable calls. Replay has changed the game and the way it is officiated and it has changed calls. Good and bad and has missed plenty of their own. If just looking at "changed calls" i'm sure it would look extremely valuable. If considering all the other things it has influenced that would be much more difficult to assign a measurable value to, i'm not convinced it's actually better than just rolling with the calls on the field and replacing officials that don't keep a keen eye for the game from season to season.
