Biggus you might as well just say the refs shouldn't have headsets either. Technology is faster, not slower. Review is better, not worse. Video can be played back instantly. You act like someone is going to have to leave the pitch and stick their heads in a nickelodeon and crank the film through the gate while they fish their pockets for coins to keep it going. Talk about having your cake and eating it, too! You can't say the team that wins is the best team and then say the best team doesn't necessarily win! It's crazy talk! If they're the best, then they may have not been the fastest or the bravest, but they certainly were the SOMETHING-est!
@Burnsy, you're such a fucking peacenik. When you've got the warmonger looking a fool flailing helplessly with one-liners trying to justify his flip-flopping convenience-based dogma-driven ideologies by quoting fucking Ketuvim, you put him down and keep him down! He only "escaped" because you let him! :gah:

Anyway, I'm mostly joking. I don't think Biggus really believes a word he's said in this thread. Nobody with such a results-driven philosophy of the game could disagree with a system that was geared specifically towards safeguarding said result with no downside whatsoever. Lets leave wedges, floodgates, slopes, boxes, doors, and all other such metaphorical nonsense out of it. Fact is, the ref is only there to enforce the rules, not as some kind of nostalgic relic of a world without recording devices.
In fact, I don't even think a ref should be allowed to wear contact lenses. It might slow the game down if he gets an itch, and back in my day we didn't even have eyes and we got by just fine, both ways uphill in the snow, etc. etc. Arguments against technology are fogey-er than PHW.
