I honestly dont know why this so complicated.....just give the var a short time limit, if they aent 100% sure the on field decission is wrong in a minute, it stands. Mistakes would end up standing, but thats fine, it was only ever meant to catch the clear an obviouse, they will be easy to spot in the time.

And I think if a team has a challenge left and they concede in the last 5 mins, they will challenge. So practically every last minute goal is going to get the VAR treatment. It could become quite farcical. Previous Message
Check factual like inside/outside the area and offside but everything else is a manager challenge and VAR just provide camera angles to the referee and don’t opine. On field referee judges this watching a screen. Previous Message
....time limits, it can't be clear and obvious if you can't see it in a minute. Previous MessagePrevious Message
blatant non-call for a penalty ever. Digne was at least a yard into the penalty area.
