I want VAR as much as anyone, but I would never vote for it the way it's been done this season.

If we want to improve it we must use it.

The best way to improve refereeing would be to accept that one man can't be expected to keep up with everything that happens on a pitch. The video ref must be given the authority to make the calls if he sees something. I would even look into having two refs on the pitch as they do in many other team sports.

Run it again like this season, cup games etc, and only bring it into the PL when its actually a decent system.

As @Jordinho says, and I have consistently, the video ref needs authority to make decisions. Make it a team effort. Constant communication between the refs, perhaps even broadcastable like in Rugby, so everyone knows whats what and the best decision is made as often as possible.

I think that this is key. It would help address some of the fans' frustration too, if they knew what was going on.

This is a typical fudge made by those who don't actually care about the progress of the game.
They will ok it next season as FIFA will make it mandatory around the world where technology allows.

Thank GHod for that.

The WC will be even more of a shambles with VAR in it

I think that you're tinkling in the wind. Some form of video reffing becoming a permanent feature of top level football is inevitable.

It will be interesting. I would guess that there will be inconsistencies because some refs will be a lot more accustomed to using it than others.

[StephenH]

We need to get our official relaxed using VAR this delay is just putting head up our collective arses and hoping it goes away..
Typical little Britain!

Personally I think the wc will make people appreciate English refs more not less.

Did you see the Young assault on Aguero?
That was a supposed 'top' ENGLISH referee.
It was shameful!
