I suspect it will settle down eventually in the Premier League, but by then we might have been robbed of our first title

I quite like the way they have dealt with it in Europe. Quick reviews and they move on.


problem is that it all gets total analysis by the media and doesn't get rid of the sense of injustice amongst fans if they think someone was 6mm off side.

Interesting, we seem to be having similar problems to those that other leagues have been through, which I guess begs the question, why haven't officials here implemented learning from those other leagues?

Because they are in charge and do not like to be lead by others.

Get rid of VAR.

I do think the fundamental question is whether var is good for the game and I don’t think it is. More and more people in the game and on the terraces are asking that key question and although it may lead to a few improved decisions being taken, I think the negatives far outweigh the benefits. It has gone far beyond whether decisions benefit the team you support, and is much more about the damage it is doing to football as a spectacle

Are there any examples of how brilliant the other leagues are using/dealing with VAR...

I'd specifically think that any leaque that insists the ref actually go take a look himself would be a good example...

Id be more worried about games with 30 minutes out of 90 ball in play action, that ruins the game more than VAR ever could. Even Spurs attempted it after the first minute at Anfield? Stoppages and time wasting should never be an issue, sooner they sort this out the better.

Shouldnt be an issue refs taking time to make the right decision aslong as the fans can see it too like in rugby, and the clock needs to be stopped whenever balls not in play. None of this guessing bollox giving 5 min added time despite there being 6 subs and a guy down for 7 mins if you go back and time it.
