    However, it does feel a bit at hte minute like the new toy a child gets that they want to play with all the time, even when they've got 4 other things out already.
    I am with you on this one. I reckon it will get better as time goes on. The rules may even alter so that interpretations are more consistent. It is time to move away from this you win some you lose some approach. Will also improve refs as prime madonna refs will fade away eventually.

    ps Wer Rafa wants it so it must be the right thing to do

    This is spot on, Jammy. VAR is for the future and although it might not be perfect right now, the idea of having it makes perfect sense.

    In a world where Mike Dean can be a referee, we certainly need a system to make things fairer.

    This.

    Refereeing decisions will always be someoneīs opinion, whether on VAR or not. Reviewing a decision on video can only lead to more better decisions being made, eventhough it may never be perfect, it will be better.

    The football VAR is sh*te just now and the rugby one is brilliant. Itīs not rocket science.

    Rugby sorted it out & the same can happen with the Football system.
