No, if you let teams start using video replay you open up a huge pandoras box of potential delays and bad angles and disputes. It might suck but it's the only way.

I think we were the poster child of questionable rules and calls last year, they even changed the rules at championships because of what happened to us.

After words I consoled my team and praised them on what a great job they did, then I found the head ref and complimented him on doing a good job and making a tough call. I didn't come on CD and complain about the refs and unfairness of it all.

BTW If you/we hadn't lost one of the other matches in the first place a questionable call couldn't have hurt us. Can't blame anyone else but you/us for that.
