Few decisions here and there which could have been better … but overall out of 64 games there wasn’t much uproar and massively wrong errors. VAR worked very well. Impressed with a lot of the refs letting stuff go (too much at times) to allow the matches to flow better, they were much stricter on time wasting and the more added time being given is long overdue

Agree with this. Notably less falling over and rolling around than usual as well (at least until the stakes got higher and it was worth the risk) which I suppose has to be down to VAR. Generally, good level of refereeing. No issues on that score really.

Also worth noting

‘England’s defeat to France on Saturday became the most-viewed UK TV broadcast of the year so far, peaking with 21.3M viewers’

I was continually told VAR would kill the game and fans would boycott watching

I thought the boycott was fans going to the game. As it took the spontinuity out of the game, eg waiting for 3/4 mins, sometimes longer, for decisions. It's made for TV audiences.

Yep. It's really tedious when people keep repeating the same thing over and over again .....

To be fair the way the foreigners do VAR is much better than our officials, the euphoria of good refereeing will be put straight on the 22nd with 5 minute waits and dodgy decisions by the bucket :)

Much more platforms to watch games nowadays then just BBC/ITV

Viewing figures nowdays don’t take into account iPlayer and various other streams

Has VAR ruined the game and are fans turning away from it ? Ask Argentina fans

Urggh.

Please stop using this argument that "some people said VAR is ruining football and they won't watch it any more but, hey ho, people are still watching anyway" as some sort of win. You want to win against people who say things they don't mean in the heat of the moment, you be you. It really isn't the win you think it is and its not doing you any favours with those of us who try to understand both sides of the discussion and to whom you contribute some valid points.

It's as bad as the other classic argument: "why do you bother watching if you think it's all corrupt?"

So you're saying none of this would have happened without VAR or (could it even have been on a bigger scale without?) We will never know. Which makes your point mute at best. Considering you have said you were leaving this thread on countless occasions you keep coming back.... VAR is here to stay, you have nothing to prove. Those of us who don't like all/some of it realise it is a lost cause. So make a New Years Resolution and give us all a rest.
 
Love VAR. It should be much faster though - AI will probably make this happen.

The current VAR system has numerous drawbacks - there's still a human factor involved (in the 3rd-place World Cup game the incompetent on-field ref who was only present because he's from the host nation missed an obvious penalty in the box and somehow the VAR officials didn't even recommend that the play be reviewed).

Also VAR is too slow. Fans are left semi-celebrating a goal, worrying that a belated offside or other infraction might be called. This needs to be fixed - and it will be.

As the VAR is literally a human, I’m not sure how they’re going to remove the “human factor”?
 
Gotta say, at least the World Cup VAR is mostly pretty fast with their decision-making. Eg. Messi's goal in the final's ET when they were checking for offside.

If it's the PL, I reckon they'd be hitting the rewind and forward buttons for ages.
 
VAR offsides should be changed or a rule change that allows for it not being 100% correct because of technology and camera angles not being in line, why not use something like the old system of daylight between players and make it simple

this is going to be massive, the clubs will now demand answers and even call for it to be turned off
it could end up being the différance between winning the title or going down, to get it wrong 12 times is crazy and managers and players may lost their jobs because of this ?

if the officials are still getting it wrong under the clear and obvious VAR system, then turn it off
