It’s not going to take too long before it’s in the football league aswell I reckon

Don’t think the FA/FL/PGMOL have the manpower to run it across 40 or so 3pm games at once. Then there’s the cost of the tech. **** that when Macclesfield can’t pay their players and you’ve got teams having games suspended.

Can't see it going in the football league, who's paying for it?

I have no idea how expensive it is, but given that all games are filmed for highlight shows on Sky etc I can’t imagine it being super expensive to add the extra bits needed for VAR. I’m not 100% on that though

Good question, I've seen no direct costings but this article will give you some insight to cost... https://www.sportbusiness.com/news/brazilian-clubs-reject-var-amid-cost-concerns/

So who pays for it, well again, i've seen no direct article, but TV armchair fans BEWARE, because VAR breaks are very lucrative sponsorship breaks worth £600k a MINUTE. The future...just like the fooking Americans!
