VAR

It's ****
I've always said it would be ****
It's often now proven to be ****
It should be binned

6 minutes to make a decision?! And some on here we're claiming that it wouldn't ruin the flow of the game...I despair

Goal line tech is good but not the other decisions needing videos to decide.

Taking six minutes to decide is pointless. VAR could work if they had a rule that says if it is so borderline/unclear that VAR cannot assist within 30 seconds/3 replays or the panel is undecided, then the original ref decision stands and the game continues.

The ref still decides after looking at the TV. So that all adds to the delay.

It has to be a one stage process, and only for game changing decisions like a sending off or a penalty awarded. In the US they have the video played down to the referee on the sideline so they can see the evidence quickly.

Or Snodgrass or Elmo...

Or whoever it was, doesn't detract from the cheat getting away with it.

They had to consult the people who had decided what the result was going to be.

Glad Ben didn't reply with the next line or it would have got weird ..

As long as the get 2 out of 3 it ain't bad

It's rubbish. So what if the officials miss an offsides call or a foul now and then? It's part of the game. And here's the kicker: there are times with VAR when they still get the call wrong! Arrrrgh!

Couldn't agree more, leave it at that.
