plus the exhilarating thrill and sudden joy of a goal will be sucked away as we wait for 5mins for a guy to sit in a booth analysing every last detail of the lead up to see if they can find anything wrong with it. 

See: NRL. 

Imagine the nix scoring an injury time winner in the Grand final next year, only to have the joy sucked away as the referee goes upstairs and we wait 5 minutes to see if Kostas big nose strayed a millimetre offside. What a downer. 

The obvious rebuttal to that is "what if the nix concede in injury time to lose a grand final and the goal was offside" - I figure there is a margin of acceptability that sucks to be on the wrong end of, but you can understand why the ref gave it. Even then, while it sucks when those wrong decisions go against you, such incidents add to the drama and even become a part of club legend - like the hand of Payne goal against the nix. 

Now we want to lose all that and make football a series of robotic decisions? No thanks.
