Not a dig at you but I like how we've gone from 'never will a team get relegated/lose a cup final' to 'better chance' in a year or two
It's not going to do that. There will be a few more stoppages but I haven't see anything more than a minute in the PL so far. Thanks to not using the monitor at the side of the pitch.

A better chance will become more certain with better technology in years to come IMO, there are bound to be teething problems with any new system like there was in Tennis.
If it got everything right then it might, but still only might mind, be worth it. But it's not going to remove the doubt in a lot of cases or stop teams getting robbed so is it really worth all the negatives that come with it?
People talk about the absolute blatant stone wall decisions but if it was only used for those we wouldn't see it more than ten times a season. I think it was a 7 per game average this weekend and it will only be used more and more.
If a goal shouldn't stand, a goal shouldn't stand. If you take all the goals that were scored in the PL last season, I reckon the amount that should have been disallowed is under 5%.
In what terms will it get better, quicker?
If so that will be counteracted by the fact it will get used for more and more things and go further and further back.
If a team score from a corner do you go back to check if it was a corner? And if it is, what if a foul throw led directly to that corner?
I mean, it's important to get these things right isn't it?
In the next few weeks we will see a goal ruled out because of something really dumb.
The var thread will light up on that night!

I get that but this is a huge change that will fundamentally change the game in terms of a spectacle. It's not a simple rule change or stadium getting torn down.
I'm sure that the authorities will come up with the most sensible and efficient system in the future, the delays don't bug me half as much as it does other people and they can often add to the drama.
But then I'm used to them watching the NHL.
You have more faith than me in the authorities.
For me the fact that all the drama revolves around var now is precisely the problem. Even fans shouting for it every decision makes me wanna go stick my head in an oven.
I spent half my football watching life seeing teams consistantly pass the ball back to the GK and him pick it up and waste time, half of a match was wasted like that, VAR will be nowhere near as frustrating as that was!...
Not yet, that will come in next season blatantly. VAR running the show, no need for a pitch ref. Just a VAR guy over the tannoy
A minute is 50 seconds too long. I’ll keep saying it. Don’t stop the game at all. The bloke in the box is mic’d up to the ref, so he can just tell him in that short timescale if they’re was a clear error.
