    Given it's successful use in the World Cup (albeit with a couple of issues), I'm surprised it hasn't been implemented for this season's Premier League. We've seen many errors this weekend in regards to both goals and red cards, surely VAR is better than this?

    Watching the Schalke V Man City and the referee has just asked for VAR and it's taken 4 minutes plus to come up with a decision, there ruining the beautiful game.

    Agree Bronco, it really does my head in. I am a huge cricket fan, and I'm not a fan of the review system in cricket either, when questioning umpires decisions

    The thing about tonight was the referee didn't even make the call as his pitch side screen was not working............you couldn't make it up, he goes to VAR and then take the decision of the 4/5/6 official.

    The system has to be flawless and at the moment it isn't. There's no point implementing technology when it pretty much boils down to another persons opinion. Goal line technology is excellent, it's infallible, but VAR needs A LOT of work if it's going to be a success.

    May be following the way that Super league rugby League do it with the video ref on site in the ground making quicker decisions might help, Sending them all to a central site hundreds of miles away in some cases must slow things down as incidents are recorded and them viewed by a team as required all trying to watch up to 23 games at once, No wonder they still get things wrong or take so long

    Ok it may complicate it more but could adopt something similar to cricket where the captain can ask for VAR but if he’s wrong he loses one. Cricket it naturally works as each play is a ball and less free flowing so restrict it to 2 appeals. If the captain isn’t sure whether to appeal how can they expect the ref to be 100% sure.

    The trouble with regards VAR is that it will take years to get down to our level of football if ever it does, just seen Portsmouth get the winner against Burton and there player defiantly handled it before it went in.

    VAR has one major failing, The Sheite referees we have now will be the ones judging VAR and are just as likely to get it wrong,

    I could never see VAR being operational at our level, then again its only the Premier League that counts.

    Liverpool would be about 4th if we had VAR this season with the amount of offside goals that they have got away with
