Should VAR be abolished on 16:03 - Jul 3 by Ryorry
OK, fair point. So is the main problem with our (UK football) VAR referees then?
At the moment I would put dubbed on crowd noise way above VAR as a problem, for those of us still bearing with Match of the Day (yeah, I know there are 'no added crowd noise' options on the red button.

Isn't VAR supposed to make sure important decisions on the pitch are given correctly (otherwise what's the point of having VAR) and quickly? As it has been, it just seems to pause the game so often & for so long that, e.g., the emotion of being able to enjoy celebrating a goal there and then is gone; & the supposedly correct VAR decisions often seem ridiculous anyway when shown again after the game.

You are close to moving me off the single undecided vote, if only to remove the yellow next to the green. I still feel the technology could be useful but, as you say, ways need to be found to make an uncontroversial decision far more frequently. And even if they are not then they could at least speed up making the wrong decision.

At the risk of raising your potential puke quotient even further -
Video Review works well in other sports and if it was implemented properly in football would be beneficial
Its the implementation I have an issue not the principle of trying to get the right decision
Do they work well in other sports?
In tennis they do not show what actually happened - just a spurious Hawkeye that could be complete fiction.
In cricket it has more or less destroyed the game and made umpires untenable - and creates the absurdity of limited video appeals which run out
Granted a few 'injustices' are overturned - but they have been part of the sport - hence 'play to the whistle'. TV can preen itself and say 'correct decision' -- but in reality that correct decision has ruined the game.
Firstly the final decision Should stay with the referee
He can ask to review something then go to the monitor and review it with the help of theVAR people
If there is a decision var think needs they can tell the ref and he goes to the monitor to view and review as needed
If there isn’t a clear obvious reason to overturn the on field decision the after say 2 mins that decision stands
If it takes 2 minutes, it isn't an obvious howler. Yes, the VAR ref can alert the live ref to something, but if he doesn't want to change his decision within 30 seconds of seeing the relevant replay, the original decision stands.

They have just about got it right in Rugby
Im not sure how it had destroyed cricket? I few captains need too look at how they have used it
and if you are happy blatant mistakes stand them so be it
Am I right in thinking we have one disallowed which actually went in?
And had a free kick given against us which didn't go in?
According to this report we scored our goal from an indirect free kick that didn't receive a touch on its way in and the ref blew the full time whistle mid move as Ian Hutchison stroked the ball towards an open net to deny Chelsea a goal.
I am somewhat shamefaced at not recalling these two events as this was my first away game. I certainly recall the goal that never was but the other memories of the match were me going into the Shed end by mistake (and I got an 'Ipswich supporter' comment as I walked up the Kings Road after the match even though I had taken my scarf off fairly early on and stuffed it into my duffle bag); and seeing a teacher who at been at Northgate a year or two earlier amongst the Chelsea support.
