Fans will always blame something ... these offsides are all offside ffs .. its tight but its fair..

Do these morons want to lose games through players being offside by a yard again and the player going sssshhh to them as they sit on their seats suffering.

If wed had var last season we would have qualified for the champions league btw

Great idea, horrendously poorly implemented as most have said.

I think it is also because it is new - people just won't like it, it's new, its different but it is coming to the right decisions 95+% of the time.

I think we have gotten away with one or 2 so far with it in all honesty so I'm not that fussed by it but GOD DAMN IT it needs to be better regulated!

There should be an appeal system where managers can appeal a decision - say 3 a game and if you get an appeal wrong you lose one, a time limit on decision making - if you can't determine if someone is offside in 30 seconds its not clear and not obviously offside so stick with the ref/lino's decision, better transparency, let the fans see and hear the decision making process so its understandable as Seebass has posted above..

I would move away completely from the referees initiating the VAR review and leave it at each team having 3 appeals to VAR per game. Only on off sides, penalties, sending offs, and goals. Otherwise as per GTA’s last para.

Also would leave off side rule as is. Off side is off side whether it is 2mm or, as per Shola, 2 miles. To do otherwise would just bring in an unnecessary subjective call where currently it is either black or white.

VAR is essential because you have to take Refs out of the firing line of wrong decisions. Careers, wealth of clubs and more importantly, Results are too important to be left to human error.
Offside is offside and VAR works perfectly. It's the offside rule itself that needs amending.
Every incident should be acted upon by VAR, not just the ones the Ref actually sees.

It's the first season but it will improve.

Agree they need to change the rule. I think it should just be daylight in-between attacker and defender.

Same problem with lines being drawn with crayons and 7 minute waits between goals being given.

I agree with the review system. Continue reffing as normal, but allow teams 2 per half. That way, you effectively get players helping in-game. Captain gets to decide, and its' only applicable for dubious goals, penalties or red cards.

You would still need to judge when there was daylight so it would still go to VAR. May as just stick with the rule as is.

Like the interweb?
It makes things fairer. It will evolve and become more streamlined. For me, it has highlighted the offside rule needing change. I suspect this will be about the feet rather than the whole body. I would go with one foot being in front of that of the last but one (goalkeeper usually the last) defenders' foot, being offside, but the powers that be are very conservative about rule changes.

Absolute rubbish and rubbish the way its being used. Perhaps some people prefer to possibly get a small percentage more of decisions correct over the negative impact its having on football, but for me I'd abandon it asap. I'd retain goal line decisions but not much else. The break up in play has been nothing short of horrific. It started with that Man C vs West Ham game earlier in the season and has continued. I personally do not enjoy watching **** like that and as far as I'm concerned it isn't even football when it gets that bad. If I had a quid for every time I've heard the words "Where is VAR now?" I'd have moved somewhere warm by now. There is no more consistency now with it in place is the crazy thing.

Football to me is about emotion. Its absolute garbage watching players not knowing whether they should bother celebrating, constant stoppages etc. That's without getting into the fact that its still an arbitrary decision made by someone in a room what is reviewed and what isn't. I honestly cannot understand why anyone who loves football in purest form wants the experiment to continue. I accept I'm in a minority though.

Its quite simple for me. Does VAR remove some of the emotive side of football from the game? Undoubtedly. That is a massive negative for me. Does VAR cause the game to be fragmented with stoppages? Undoubtedly on occasion. The best games of football I've watched are end to end with refs letting a bit go, and fans/players etc all emotionally involved in the game. VAR undoubtedly works against that so they can stick it.

Most of my mates want to see each side given two reviews per game. Football is nothing like cricket etc. It does not lend itself to this kind of approach. I admire that it was something brought in to improve the game. You should always be trying to be better and improve. However there is no shame in abandoning something once it becomes clear its ****.

Combination of VAR and another one of their stupid rule changes dominate the headlines again...

it’s not football anymore and should be rebranded.
