[QUOTE="Lancashire Nick, post: 876083, member: 73890"] I enjoy both games, but much prefer Rugby. Faults with American Football :- It often appears that the referees have too much influence on deciding the winner. I think that minor infringements are often too heavily penalised. An automatic first down is assessed at the point of the foul, and a team gains 50 metres for a minor, technical infringement. Similarly, penalties such as pass interference, are often given for the slightest of contact between players. Whilst I understand the gaps in play, often the time between "downs" is too long because of timeouts or commercial breaks (Sky TV in the UK show hour game highlights of each match during the week, with all the breaks removed, and it is a much better product to watch). Because each passage of play starts with a snap from the line of scrimmage, it can get a bit repetitive. [/QUOTE]
