Think we're all on the same page that it's really getting to be a bit much and taking over a lot of the enjoyment.
Why don't we do what they do in Cricket and Tennis and let teams have 2/3 challenges per game? Would make the game flow a bit better in my opinion and not have this constant stop start all the time. |  |

Just get rid of it. Barring goal line tech, it's not resolved anything - just get rid and allow the officials to get on with it. |  |

Or just make football what it was. A fun sport which created conversations after games about potential official mistakes.
I still don't feel VAR was needed. Goals being taken away because a knee was offside etc. It's just daft imo.
Goal line tech was the only thing I think was needed to help linesman due to the angles involved. |  |

Here's a thought. Let the on-field officials make decisions based on what they see. |  |

This is a brilliant idea but not for the reason you suggest.
Imagine a team that complains about everything.
If they foul they protest their innocence, and if they are fouled they demand the red card be shown to their opponent.
They would stop protesting if they knew it would result in a lost appeal. |  |

And then you get goals like Maradona's handball allowed and Lampard's disallowed when it was around 2 ft over the line.
VAR isn't perfect, but we've not seen the massive errors we used to.
I like the OP suggestion, got to be way of improving the flow of the game and I think giving a team one or two appeals could be the solution. |  |

Yep, I get what people are saying about getting rid of it, but it's here to stay regardless, so for me, we need to have it in the game but limit the times its used and to have challenges makes perfect sense to me. | |

To be fair, Lampard's goal would be given with the goal line tech - no VAR requred.
Maradona's admittedly still gets given. I'd still argue for more professional linemen though rather than VAR to cope with situations like that. For me the mere presence of VAR has further undermined the authority of the referee.
Then again, I am an old git and rather stuck in my ways.

Don't think that would help at all. Some games don't have any VAR interventions, and suddenly teams would be using up their permitted challenges on anything. |  |

The first international football game was in 1872. Carry on with VAR in its current form and it'll be dead by 2032. |  | | |

It seems like the refs are now reliant on it.
Realy the game should be played as before but only "clear and obvious" errors (i.e Maradona's handball) will be overturned.
I suppose then you'd have "what is clear and obvious" and different opinions of that............its neverending. |  | | |

1. Keep goal line tech
2. Make penalty area much smaller - lets see who tries to stay on their feet then!
3. There has to be daylight between attacker and last defender to be offside, the lino makes that call, not VAR, flags straight away.
4. Ref makes decisions on handball as before.
The end of VAR. (mostly) |  | | |

Yep, that would be my suggestion as well. Said it on another thread the other day and think it would be the best of both worlds. Football will just shrug its shoulders and carry on lagging behind though. | |

Personally I disagree with that. A decision is either right or wrong and the officials overseeing VAR should be able to make a decision quickly.
For me, VAR is not the issue, it's the to$$ers administering it. The wrong people, who've never played the game, making game changing decisions. The suggestion of ex-players administering it is spot on in my opinion, providing there's no bias due to who they've previously played for, etc.
Apart from wrong VAR decisions on penalties/free kicks based on the fact these idiots have never played the game, what really irks me is why they haven't made a rule on offside, which to me, is just common sense.
It shouldn't matter if an elbow, a knee or a head is offside. For me, it's all about the feet. A good forward player will anticipate a good forward pass from a midfielder/winger. His feet are the key, not whether a player is leaning forward or has a knee in front of his foot. The timing of a good forward run is whether he's in line or behind the last defender. For me, that's his feet. He'll lean forward in anticipation of a good through ball, that's natural. It's just got too technical, with lines on knees, shoulders, arms, etc. Just use his feet as a base when the ball is played, it's that simple IMHO. | | | |

Agree with you regarding offside being judged by a player's foot. About 20 years ago I came up with an idea that would solve the offside issue.
You would put a chip in the most forward part of a player's boot and a chip in the ball (which they now do for goal line technology).
A computer would know where every player was in relation to each other and where each player is when the ball is struck. Foolproof offside decisions. |  |
