       A significant percentage of decisions in football are 50:50, if
       a referee went over to check any time such a decision had to be
       made games would never end.  If it is 50:50 VAR shouldn't be
       going anywhere near it in any case, they should only be getting
       involved where almost everyone looking at it realises the
       referee has dropped a complete clanger (unless factual like
       offside).

       there was more consistency before VAR was introduced. How many
       VAR 'decisions' do we now see accepted, perhaps with a shrug of
       the shoulders, even though the offside or whatever has been
       tight? Beach balls and red cards for handling shots going wide
       come to mind and these and others would surely have been sorted
       by VAR, would they not? At times, I have wished that VAR could
       be extended down, for example Sunny Singh Gill's refusal to give
       Crewe a late penalty v Salford, which was dreadful and cost
       Crewe two valuable points, but I accept that this is not going
       to happen anytime soon. I agree fully that consistency is needed
       with VAR, and either the bar is set high or it is not, we cannot
       have both. Other than that, I feel we should continue with VAR.

       certainly agree that the second challenge prior to the second
       Wolves goal looked like a foul and should perhaps have been
       acted on. But maybe that's me lowering the bar unnecessarily.

       apologies the bad spelling remark was accidental.

       [/quote]I should have phrased it better.what I meant was if the
       var isn’t able to say check complete within let’s say 20secs
       it’s obviously not clear and the ref should ah e the final
       say.it won’t add that much time if the ref comes to the monitor
       after 20secs(for example)

       Time taken will also depend in part on the camera angles
       available. We've all seen incidents where it looks stonewalled
       from one angle and absolutely nothing from another. I think
       putting a time limit on things will only add to things being
       missed as they rush to get it done quickly.
