Hope it happens here. Yes, we've benefitted like everyone else, but it is ruining the fun of celebrating a goal and not worrying etc.Interesting development
Norway on verge of abolishing VAR from domestic leagues after club vote
Norway is on the verge of abolishing VAR from its domestic league after clubs in the country’s top two divisions formally recommended that it should be discontinuedwww.theguardian.com
I honestly think any sort of “challenge” scenario introduces more delay to the game, and has the potential for all sorts of admin SNAFU situations
The way to “fix” VAR is the same as it always has been;
- Automate offsides so they’re basically instant
- Timebox any review to 30 seconds, else it’s not “clear and obvious”, then go with the call of the ref
- Play the video and audio on the screens in the stadium
None of this is difficult, they just can’t be arsed

Go back to refs favouring the big clubs?
Lose or win at Spurs away under RdZ
You can argue both ways, but football is about spontaneous enjoyment and passion for me, VAR has removed an element of this.
Having a toe offside is not gaining an advantage.
Get rid, just talk about refereeing decisions rather than VAR decisions.
That’s not technology that’s about performance of individuals and alleged unconscious bias
In Sweden the members (who by law runs every club) in nearly every case voted for their clubs to actively work against anyone trying to implement VAR in Allsvenskan.
The chairman of the Swedish FA, former prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt wanted to introduce it anyway. The response to that was members voting for their clubs to get work for getting rid of him from that post, and he is very unlikely to be re-elected by the clubs and local FAs in March.
Bit like in Norway, people come to the games for the atmosphere and most definitely not for the football, so the first must always be prioritised and then there can be no VAR.

It's still a joy sucking mood-hoover celebrated by pendants who now sleep more soundly because someone offside by 1cm is no longer considered level.
FA Cup R3 games were a delight.
