Exactly. It's simply absurd to automatically verify whether every goal is 100% legitimate because where does it end? You'll have the VAR guy rewinding the tape to a minute earlier, ruling out goals because it wasn't a throw in, etc, and mirco-analysing every minor, insignificant bloody infringement like the first goal yesterday. (Meanwhile the poor supporters sit in muted celebration as the last-minute 'winning' goal goes in against the Woolwich, waiting nervously if it's permissible to jump with joy for fear of gut-wrenching heartbreak and mockery as a wayward shoelace gets forensically analysed for being offside)It's the checking of every single goal that's the problem...just think of the amount of goals like last night's that'll be disallowed thanks to some minor infringement in the build up...unless there's a glaring error there shouldn't be any review at all.
And then the bastards won't add-on the correct number of agonising minutes it takes to 'clear-up' matters for fear of embarrassment and folks missing their train connections home. In it's current form it's a complete farce and utterly unfeasible, and I've got no confidence it will ever be used efficiently and appropriately going forward...
