My issue is the sligtest touch on an attacker equals a foul, but the same protection is not given to defenders. fwiw i think attackes now go down far to easily and look to dive at any opportunity which is only gonna get worse with var. this was an opportunity to rid the game of diving but sadly it seems to have been missed.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Video review has been a tremendous benefit to all sports used, but there is usually a time period of ironing out the wrinkles, and fans getting used to it.

It's that part of the game that needs seriously looked at. Games are often won or lost because of some fannie falling over because someone looked at him.

Before the World Cup started, I was totally against VAR due to all the dubious decisions being made in the FA Cup. Having said that, it’s been a very good addition to this World Cup. 1-2 small grey areas still need to be worked upon but it’s been more a success than a failure during this World Cup so far.

Experienced VAR for half a season here in Oz.
My summation
Will it REDUCE wrong decisions.........Yes
Will it result in No wrong decisions.......No
Will wrong decisions be given AFTER viewing the VAR.....Yes
Will it affect the natural ‘flow’ of the game.......Yes
Will there be times that the VAR is NOT used when most think it should....Yes
Humans are involved, mistakes will continue to be made......VAR will reduce that, but not eliminate wrong decisions....and I guess the question is.......is the stop/start nature of the technology worth the outcome?
I’m still undecided after several months.....

I wonder how many years Rangers would have been denied trophies if VAR had been in use?

This practice appears to have been allowed to creep into the game over the past few seasons, and has been tolerated and allowed to almost 'be part of the game'
Had such things been done in the seventies say, even in amateur football, penalties would have been awarded all over the place...it just didn't exist.
I don't know why referees suddenly relaxed their vigilance on this..but do remember back in part of the nineties shirt holding seemed to get a bit of a green light for a while too, until it was decided that it should be stamped out.
No room for shirt holding or any kind of rugby tackling...and sharp decisive action will soon eliminate its prevalence.

If they are going to use camera evidence then it has to be done right, not to pick and choose what they think should be re-viewed.

TB F ..if the referees can’t see the blatant pulling and wrestling at corners, which now seems to occur at most games and is ignored, it’s not VAR they need...it’s a Check up at Specsavers.....

I’m all for it. Anything to get more decisions right. Folk saying it ends debate - couldn’t disagree more. There will be plenty of debate.

Goal line technology is enough for me. Last night showed that VAR still doesn't guarantee the correct decisions will be made.

They do need to get more consistent at calling reviews tho. Kane got dragged to the ground last night - was a stonewaller.

This is generally what happens at every corner in every match from the world cup to the amateurs.
The referee cannot punish 1 and ignore the other.
I can say as an ex-ref it does make the ref's life a bit easier as when to happens you just point to the other offence and explain you cant give one without the other

Even if that is the case I think the offences are bookable at least and the refs should be waving their cards to prevent it.

I Second that motion!
The England game last night had "incidents" this VAR was designed to sort out.
It didn't.
