Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

I think most fans of the premiership game and fans in general see don't see VAR in a positive way, not because of the decisions it helps the ref to make correctly but fans are pissed off because of the time delays.

Bearing in mind that we would have been in the playoffs if the ref had seen the Lincoln keeper trip up on his own boot laces I think VAR is a worthwhile addition to the game.

But it can be made so much better. . . .

Football needs to copy cricket, teams should have 3 referrals to VAR each game (or each half?). And exactly as happens in cricket if you make a false claim you lose it, make a confirmed claim you stay at 3 referrals.

I would also like to suggest the football kicks the offside rule over the main stand. Yeah I admit it sounds ridiculous but if a team plays with there no9 hanging around the edge of the penalty area 1 or 2 defenders will have to stay back to cover the long ball to the no9. The benefit of this is the game will not be tippy tappy football around the back 4 or 5 because the game would be stretched from one penalty are to the other. It will give creative midfielders so much more time and space to do their thing.
