And the main reason you know it's a mistake?

Television.

I don't like the idea of an officiating system designed to cater to TV viewers more than any other perspective. What a spectator experiences on TV, with slow motion replays and zoom shots, etc., is often little like what happens in real-time on the pitch.
I don't think I follow you. No matter what, everything in sport is geared to TV viewers, and in fact with referees making poor decisions week in week out, you'll have more Monday morning QB's than you would WITH a review system. Eliminate poor refereeing decisions and you eliminate TV viewers thinking they know best.

Still, has some minor but amusing moments. In Italian (lol) they always introduce themselves saying "sono di scientifica" (I'm from the scientific) :D Also gotta love dee enne ah (DNA).

a bit of both. italian is a strictly for fun project. french gives me all kinds of stress for failed attempts in the past.
Cool, aside from English I speak basic Spanish, Italian, and I took German in school but didn't learn a thing. English is the only language I speak well the Spanish is just so I can communicate with all the illegals in my state
