OK it's getting boring now all this VAR talk, so I've solved it, you're welcome, there's no charge
Off-sides are called by the linesman, VAR checks are made on any goals or penalty claims etc, and if clear and obvious are called to the referees attention within 15 seconds, otherwise not clear and obvious and the decision stays with the linesman/referee
Goals are celebrated in the normal way, but all are looked at for clear and obvious errors. If such an error is found before the game kicks off again, goal ruled out, otherwise it took too long and is therefore not clear and obvious.
Handballs in the penalty area called by the referee and are checked by VAR. The check is for a clear and obvious handball that has influenced the outcome, ie if the hand blocks a goal bound shot, deflects the ball to or away from a striker creating a scoring opportunity or preventing one, or has another significant influence, this check again should take no more than 15 seconds, if it’s longer, and needs multiple viewpoints, then referees call stands.
Red card incidents, if the on field officials miss one, they are referred to the pitch side monitor to review, their call ultimately, same as upgrading or downgrading a yellow to red or red to yellow. This may take a little longer, but has a long term influence on the game so must be right.
Incorrect identification of a player, called by VAR to the referee, again should take just a few seconds
Encroachment, VAR monitors keeper and player, only relevant if encroaching player touches the ball (ie saves the penalty or clears the ball after a save or woodwork hit. Too mnay things happening too quickly to rely on people to watch this
Have I missed anything?
