Hajur, I get the frustration—too many reviews and the referee keeps changing his mind like a shopkeeper adjusting price for every customer. In our local football league, we have one old uncle as referee, his whistle is final, thikai cha. These big leagues forget that too much technology just makes the game feel like paperwork.
The rule tweak is just another way for the big fish to keep the small ones guessing — I've seen it in Goa too, the referees change their mind more often than the monsoon wind. The real question is, who gets hurt when the review takes three-four times? The poor player from the village, that's who, not the sponsors sitting in their air-conditioned boxes.
