it is though.
if you look at rugby, cricket, tennis. they all use tech they are vastly different sports. we have used Hawkeye for football and its worked perfectly... its evidence a ball os over a line just like in those sports.
football is no less a sport with stoppages than any other, the point is that if you fail to.use common sense and give yourself a reasonable margin then you lead to this silly 4min **** every time a decision is needed.
var is supposed to be for 4 things. mistaken identity, red cards, penalties, goals.
if you apply actual logic and system you can speed the decision s but most importantly force officials.make their call and then say any reason I should of award this goal/pen/red card.
make linesman flag offside immediately. not.keep flag down til ball is in net etc.
a goal review could be:
move back 2 passes.. any offside. no.
any fouls by attacking team no.
ball over line. yes.
goal.the end.
penalty. same... but this is subjective so give on field decision then simply review in same way... but only if defending team calls for review.
go back 2 passes or whatever. no offside.
no foul by attacking player? no ok.
is there clear dive in pen? no
is there clear contact preventing shot yes
ok its a pen. in the end if a ref waves off a pen and you feel.it was one then use your review as attacking team.
