If there's nothing wrong with VAR, why are they trialling a massive change to it, starting for us at WHL on Wednesday?Nothing is wrong with VAR… just the morons that ref in England.
Honestly, I'm not entirely sure that this is a good fix. We have this kind of thing here for hockey. Before we had it, I was in favour because there were those egregious mistakes that had to be corrected (in my view). A player is 3 feet offside and somehow it's missed, or that type of thing.Need radically changing I've been advocating for years that each team should be able to use 3 challenges a game and they have to tell VAR what to look at
EG we think he was offside that was handball
VAR only looks at what it's asked to and has 90secs to come to a conclusion and send the REF over
It's killed the game

When they spend 5 minutes to decide someone is half an inch offside you know it has all gone wrong.The way it's being used is shit, there just seems to be some tosser who's job is to find ways to rule out goals.
