Sport is competitive and results are often decided by somebody's error. Goal line tech - sure, but only like the EPL has. Offside - doable but needs work.

The rest, just let it be.
I don't get this though. You want goal line tech included, but you're ok for other areas of the game to include errors?

People are acting like there's no B&W in football bar the goal line issue. But there is - offside is incredibly B&W and the only reason it causes controversy is because linesmen are trying to figure it out in a split second and often get it wrong. As a rule though, it's ALWAYS clear cut - Nabbout's goal on Saturday is a perfect example of why VAR should adjudicate on offside when a goal is scored and there's enough doubt - in real time, he looked a mile off and would have been flagged because I doubt the linesman saw the nick of the defenders toe.

The other issue is clear red card offences. Plague - that red card for Muscat was as clear as you get. He cocked his elbow and went straight back into the dude's head. Can't remember who copped it but there was nothing grey about that. He deserved his red and the outcry about VAR only came because Bobo escaped earlier in the game - but using it for Muscat was spot on.

I don't see any difference to these incidents then when a linesman raises his flag, then has a discussion with the ref for a few minutes to talk about what he thought he saw before the ref pulls out a card. But instead of a discussion, someone can watch a replay instead.

I've walked away from enough games absolutely fuming at the referee to know I'm more than happy for them to trial something that can minimise the amount of errors they make.
