Imo VAR should only exist in a technical capacity to prepare footage to transfer onto a ref’s portable Fold 5 or something. Samsung could sponsor it even!
The decisions should all be made by the ref on pitch and this would massively improve the speed of play during VAR. There’s no reason they should have to walk off pitch.
1·1 year ago- Because it would fall out 10x during a match as the ref is running.
- Because small screen.
- Because Official VAR proceedings.
- Because you can’t hook his tinyass phone up to the official broadcast.
- Because play is stopped anyway so wtf does it matter if he goes off pitch?
- BTW he runs back on the pitch before announcing his decision.
