Yes and yesNot sure if this has a thread somewhere, but is VAR spoilng the game?
Should it be abandoned?
Yes and no!
I think VAR certainly has a place in the game and could improve where football was a few years ago.
However, it is completely ruining the game in its current form, needs significant changes to how it is being used

How would you make that work for fouls, which are essentially subjective decisions?Captains of each team should have say 3 appeals per game, used for whatever decisions they wish. That way decisions only get overturned if the opposition actually felt aggrieved by something, and would need to be sure about their claims before using up an appeal.

Agree would it work if each team had 3 challenges per game to review decisions. Challenge a call within 30 secondsor play continues.Yes and no!

And they-the pundits, are the problem! Wittering on about a referee decision for 5 minutes and not knowing the Laws of the game themselves which is ironic.Referees are terrible yet 4 pundits with years of experience playing the game can’t agree after 20 replays?
Maybe instead of rushing a decision the ref could take a long look the following day and give a decision within 72 hrsFair point but I'd say if a team feels a foul should have been given they could use a review and ask the ref to take another look at it
Call me a dinosaur, but part of the appeal of football is the we woz robbed chat afterwards.
Take that away, and you take away part of its soul
How many games require more than 2 uses though? Most of the obscene calls are the only time VAR is used in that specific game, it's just been used horribly. If both teams have two reviews, there will still be the same amount of reviews as there are currently.I'd go for the cricket approach. Give each team two reviews to use throughout a game. Players generally know when something is wrong, so this would stop the horrendous errors being missed, but wouldn't necessarily see goals like Bamfords at the weekend ruled out as teams would be unlikely to use up a review on something so marginal
I agree but I don't remember ever saying "They woz robbed"Call me a dinosaur, but part of the appeal of football is the we woz robbed chat afterwards.

Who's your FatherYep....except it hasn't even taken away the "we woz robbed" aspect.......its just now we woz robbed by some anonymous divvy watching slo-mo repeats remotely on screen.....
"The VARs a wanker....the VARs a wanker" doesn't quite cut it for me
