When the video ref was introduced to Rugby League it was quite good as the ref still made 95% of the decisions with his touch judges and only went upstairs when unsure of grounding or maybe a foot in touch. Over the years this figure has been eroded and it seems that they go upstairs on virtually every try nowadays and it is getting rather tedious.
The thin end of the wedge springs to mind if it is introduced into football. The refs will use it more and more for fear of being castigated later, as has happened in RL, the remit of what can be judged will be added to, and then we will have a 90 minute game that lasts 3-4 hours.
IMO
