That doesn't make sense. The time to review the decision is the time it takes to review the decision. And in rugby it's much, much quicker for the sort of obvious decisions that are reviewed in football matches and without as many camera angles to get the clearest view.

In rugby the VAR official also quickly reviews footage while play is ongoing and can halt play when it's clear what's being seen. Football could also play on more than it does but for some reason everything has to come to a grinding halt and simple decisions then need to be discussed in detail for minutes at a time.


What doesn't make sense? Football has fewer and shorter breaks in play than Rugby, Cricket and Tennis, no?

The reason it takes so long is because at the end of the day, apart from offsides, the decision is still being made by a human and largely based on opinion. That's why the whole thing is a waste of time.

You're getting sidetracked by other breaks in play. But I'll try again.

The breaks to review decisions in football take much, much longer than the breaks to review similarly clearcut decisions in rugby. So maybe they need to follow or learn from the quicker process.

They won't though because as mentioned the decisions are still down to opinion and relies on a human deciding what the outcome should be. My point regarding breaks in play still stands.
