I still think that VAR should operate more like the use of technology in cricket and tennis, where a team has to ask for a review.
Maybe automatic reviews for offside, especially if they can be semi-automated, but for everything else, such as red cards, penalties, goals disallowed/not disallowed for fouls, handballs etc, the team will have 2 appeals per game (like cricket reviews, you keep your review if you're successful). Yellow cards should be reviewable as well, if a team wants to use their review that way.
If they do keep it, I do hope they use it for clear and obvious errors, like it was initially intended for e.g. the Henry handball or someone who’s clearly offside, not trying to work out to the mm if someone is offside.
Also, real time video as the ref would see it, not super slo-mo when everything looks worse, with 30 seconds max to review. If it takes longer than that then it isn’t clear and obvious and the on field decision should remain.
Wolves have formally submitted an argument to scrap VAR, which has triggered an official vote for the 20 premier league clubs next month
I'm not the biggest fan of it, but i feel like with all the other top leagues using it, and it being used in European competitions as well that it would be silly to go back on it.
The Premier league need to improve the competence of the officials who operate it.
I would keep, simplify it: Offsides, these are pretty black and white, i know people create drama still but these are the best use of VAR imo Red cards that are missed
Get rid of the clear and obvious error malarky, trust the refs and lino a bit more but still use it for the above.
but offsides are not black and white as they spend so long checking it. That's my biggest problem with it, how long it takes to evaluate a call that a player is 3mm on or offside. Just go with the original call ffs.
This will surely be improved with the introduction of the semi-automated offside technology that they had in Qatar.
"it eliminates the need for VARs to manually add lines to camera images and will produce graphics that can be shown instantly."
Well all I can say is to those of you who think it is somehow awful watching City win their 4th title in a row is just sit back and admire their football. It is just wonderful to watch.
And really pleasing knowing that the United fans must be hating it!

West Ham sit 11 players in their own box and let City score in the first minute. Yawn.
Competitive League.

Wycombe vs Charlton was bad, because neither team had a thing to play for, and we only saw a goal because of stupid defending
I know they're on summer holidays already and no Bowen but they wouldn't look out of place in League One.
This will be a nice moment before Man City score another 3 in the next 10 minutes.
