Modern football is rubbish and plastic
I think its the way VAR is deployed in the Premiership.
The referee should go and look can decide himself not rely on third party ,he is nearer the event .
The rules also need to be changed to help with clarity of the VAR decision , like Wenger's proposal that offside is when the whole of the body is off , not a foot .
There's much that's wrong with VAR but the worst is that decision making is taken out of the hands of the ref. He, and he alone, should have the ability to view an incident again at pitch-side and make the decision. However, allowing faceless people sitting in front of a bank of monitors to make decisions is laughable. Moreover waiting 2 mins for a decision shows the surreal nature of the process. The sight of a goal not being given because of a VAR incident, 1/2 min earlier, as this weekend is ludicrous. If the incident can't be deemed, "a clear and obvious mistake," from viewing the incident in 30 secs at normal speed at pitchside then it should stand.
I get the impression these faceless people are a means to give a decision the way the Football Establishment want it to go if the ref hasn't. Add to that the continual tinkering with the Laws of the Game and the ever increasing interpretation of them and you end up with the mess football is in. "Laws are to be applied and not interpreted," as Frank Burrows oft said. And now, to cap it all, Wenger wants to bring in a 10 cm latitude for offsides. The authorities have brought it all on themselves and have dug themselves into an abyss.

Completely and utterly this^^^
The referee may still make a decision, which in many people's eyes will be the wrong one, but at least it will be HIS decision, the referee's decision since time immemorial, not some faceless "expert" a hundred miles away.
A monitor pitchside like in the WC.
People would not only respect this but be more accepting of it.
It means this. In this (quickly) doctored photo, Sterling would be onside.

Having to amend a number or rules - to allow a system that was allegedly brought in to ensure the existing rules were correctly applied, strikes of madness. Anyway it's Neville's language that irks me. I think it illustrates just how little those in high places - including ex-players - really understand what the real supporter gets out of going to follow their team.
I posted a couple of days ago re. the gaps in the stands at Prem league games. There were loads at Arsenal yesterday. PL especially is a generally boring 'product', hyped up for 90 minutes by the commentators..
So true. The version of VAR we saw in the last World Cup was not perfect, but it was far superior to the current shambles in the Premier League - surely any sane person looking at the Burnley v Bournemouth match this weekend would have to conclude that what we're seeing this season is a deeply, flawed and farcical system. We're getting towards the end of the season now and if I were involved with a club in danger of being relegated from the Premier League, I would be thinking that my team's fate could be decided on the final day of the season by what someone hundreds of miles away watching endless replays to try and find a way to disallow a goal we just scored decides - given the money at stake, I would say there is a very strong chance that we'll see a legal challenge to a VAR decision over the summer.
I share these thoughts ^^
These people in Stockley Park (is it?).
Accountable to nobody and could well themselves have placed a load of spread bets, the outcomes of which could be decided on their decisions.
