They could always adopt something like the NFL rules, where every scoring play is reviewed automatically, going back 30 seconds before the goal, and the refs should hold the whistle unless a clear foul has been committed. It might mean more goals overturned, but should also cut down on the second guessing the ref that seems to be happening. Could also give each coach 3 VAR challenges per game, so if they're unhappy with a referee call, they can use a challenge.

Or they could just do what 91% of fans think - scrap it and go back to referees and a human game, with human falibility and all the gloriousness that existed before this fucking awful system got hold.
But hey. Future advertising dollar talks - and dollar is what "the game" is now all about.

Oh in blighty it'll be a generational thing. 91% of people fucking hate it - so imagine the backlash with ads.
But tell me: what other product would put up with a 91% customer dissatisfaction rate?
Regardless of my add angle - 91% of fans think football was better before VAR.

Ok I will come clean. I did stumble across the Baller League whilst channel hopping the other day, how on earth they can make a competition out of Junior school five-a-side football is beyond me.

Cor 1 fan can say that and make it on the BBC News website? Wonder if the owners of Spurs will lose any sleep over this outrageous act.Roberto de Zerbi: Spurs fans' anger grows over Italian's appointment
