ffs, this is not what the game needs 
VAR powers to be extended?
.
The Times are reporting that football's lawmakers Ifab could discuss extending VAR powers to improve decision-making accuracy on free-kicks, second yellows, corners.
The report says a working group established by Fifa has been looking into whether video assistant referees should have greater responsibilities - but there are fears it could lead to even longer delays.
imo the VAR experiment has shown that it creates as many mistakes as simply leaving it to the ref to decide. There's been no improvement and no consistency added, just another layer of subjective decision making.
The only thing I would change is extending the goal line tech to include all of the touchlines, so that there's no debate about whether the ball is still in play... and I'd give Arsenal another point and dock newcastle 2 for the daylight robbery at St James park
