Or we could get rid of Sky & VAR and their ridiculous amount of camera's, angles, slo mo, "experts" and everything else they possess and go back to having a referee on the pitch seeing things once in real time.

That would work, but I suspect the Genie is out of the bottle and cannot be put back.
VAR does need to work better, waiting 5 mins for a verdict is not on. The powers that be could consider a couple of points, stop the clock (as in rugby) when we await a decision and show the replay on the big screens, so fans are not left out?

Oh I know it wont happen but your big screens would certainly make it better.

You mean like it’s been forever gone by
 
Rafa's post match comments on Saturday should surely be looked at - asked about the penalty he said "well I think it's time we had VAR"

Or, in other words, "the ref got it wrong" which, in most games, would see a manager punished. He hides behind VAR to have a go at the ref and it seems to be accepted
 
The "offside" Man c goal was not, as the spurs player played it back, so their "5th" goal should have stood it bounced off the Man c player mind but to me he did not play the ball, hell of a game as well. I still say Spurs will win the champions league getting a tenner on.
 
It wasn't a deliberate hand ball, if the ball hit his raised arm then yes it's a penalty but he was going to ground and his hand was there to protect his fall. .He didn't handle it deliberately and didn't know where the ball was.
Anyway - doesn't really affect the game Brasil look back in control now.

Gabriel Jesus is not impressed with VAR either.

Did the nasty man do something mean to him?
He got a second yellow card for a scissor challenge - he can't really complain but he's such a spoilt brat and lost it completely, kicked a water bottle, punched the var screen and nearly knocked it over then sat on the naughty step having a hissy fit <laugh><laugh><laugh>
