VAR - It's Football But Not As You Know It

[Jetmaster]

at the very least, i noticed that they are now putting a graphic next to the score/time watermark indicating that a review is underway. that is an improvement in my opinion.

No its not - the whole VAR thing was supposed to be seamless and behind the scenes - now it is part of the match buildup (announced on the screen), talked about all game coverage and now screen graphics with lights and sponsorship crap.

Last night just should have been a red and the VAR could have then checked if that was the right call or not. That could have stopped the little brawl to start with but we already starting to see refs lose confidence and look to the VAR.

Simon Hill hates it and only mentions it when necessary but Brenton Speed is like a puppy with a new toy.
