But it will be fully in the media spotlight. Crap refereeing (in theory) will definitely be called out.
It won't be the usual "Oh he's human we all make mistakes, the game is very fast these days", With VAR the ref's bias will became blatantly obvious.

I cannot understand why VAR requires 3 officials in a room to make decisions. Surely this in itself lengthens the debate/discussion and therefore impacts on the decision time!

Other sports manage perfectly well with only one whom the referee refers to for clarification.

Eventually offside will be dealt solely by VAR and linesman will have more time to do their other things properly, too many mistakes in almost every single game.

Watching the Levante v RMA game this evening...after yet another ridiculous VAR decision (RMA second penalty) this just reinforces my belief that we are in for the most incredulous decisions that will do absolutely nothing to resolve some of the shocking refereeing decisions we have to suffer. How they can ‘review’ that incident and still decide it’s a penalty is absolutely beyond me! Pathetic!

Absolute rubbish. Killing the moment and still plenty of poor decisions anyway. Too much to the detriment of the paying fan.
Modern offside rules are crap as well.

Trying to perfect and make a precise science of something that isn’t even down to the ridiculous imaginary lines they draw across the pitch to decide whether a player’s toe is offside. Honestly think the game is being run by idiots.

I can only re-iterate that VAR will not be a panacea in that subjective decisions will be made in certain instances and there will still be controversy.
