As I see it, it's not the VAR that's the problem,  but the way the decision is made. As it stand, they are using slide rules and micrometers to arrive at a decision. Why can't the ref watch a replay on the stadium screen to see if it needs referring.  If it looks level on the big screen then it stands. No use of lines and blowing it up to see if a fingernail is offside. The ref and the crowd will watch the replay in real time so the fans will know exactly what is happening.
As for penalties,  the linesman stands on the goaline watching the keepers feet, so why do we need VAR? Just instruct the lines person to be strict with the keeper moving off the line and flag it.

Quoted from lukeo
Just switched MOTD on and I'm already fed up of fuffing VAR and I've not even finished watching the first match highlights.  It's redicilous! This may be the point now where I stop watching the premiership / MOTD full stop.
Must be horrible in the stand having to wait after the balls hit the net to celebrate or to see a goal, see the lineo has their flag down so you celebrate, your opponents take the ball to the half way line for them to decide actually it was offside.


I stopped watching it years ago when they made you sit through all the prem games before they rattled through the FA Cup at the end.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Just be thankful the EFL has not decided to use it for the likes of us!

What they should do now is have all the best referees in the EFL where they are needed and the rubbish ones in the PL so VAR can make all the decisions.

The handball rule is a farce now. Said it even before the season started. Had the defender done the same “ handball” and the ball was cleared, no one would have been the wiser and the game would have played on.

With respect H, that is the problem. Too many people hated it “since” instead of “before”. This is all so very very predictable. It is new and it is super accurate so it MUST be good. People who dislike it are technophobes and luddites who do not understand the modern world .......

VAR is just an example of football jumping at change for the wrong reasons and throwing out the baby with the bath water. VAR does not need tinkering with, it needs to go and let’s get back to football as a human activity played for professional entertainment of other humans.

Once again, not VARs fault at the weekend, that's the new handball ruling, VAR ensured the correct decision was made. And smoothly and promptly too.

It's the rule that's ridiculous.

I am already thinking GOAL !!!!!

Taken all the excitement out of seeing a goal scored.
