The other issue I have with the repeated delays is they break the flow of the game.

So...you'd prefer players get popped in the face with elbows and have nothing called? The kids at the NCAA level (M & W) move quickly and sometimes there's contact that's missed. If there's a way to check it, why not? If the rule causes kids to keep their elbows down and saves someone from a concussion, it's worth it.

Regarding 2s vs. 3s: I think those reviews may happen a bit too often as well but for the sake of getting things right sacrificing a minute or two is worth it.

It's only a problem for fans. I have a hunch that the coaches and players, overall, like the new process.

Correct decision of FF1 upon monitor review.
Live the play was difficult because of the angle the official had towards the players and the fact that the second elbow was the one which contacted the defender's throat. Had it been the lead arm, I believe that the C has an easy whistle, but after the left arm passes through and then the ball, it is hard for the official to have a look at the trailing arm. The ball is probably in the way.
