Absolutely nothing? Or do you think it is a worthwhile endeavor? I think it's time for a reappraisal of VAR, now that we've seen it in a significant sample of matches - I know this is being discussed in other threads, but perhaps it'd be good to focus on it in one place.
Personally, VAR is managing to almost singlehandedly put me off the use of instant replay in sport more generally. I'm fine with it being used for black-and-white judgments: Was the attacking player behind the last defender? Did the ball cross the goalline? (Although actually, the latter is more akin to the use of Hawkeye in tennis than VAR...) But I see few signs that its effectiveness for judgment calls is getting any better, and indeed there are areas in which its use almost certainly makes things worse, such as judging whether a goalkeeper has left the line early in trying to save a penalty when historically that has NEVER been called except in the most egregious of situations (and even then with no consistency at all, but again I digress).
So, does VAR work for you? If it doesn't, do you think it can be salvaged? Or is it time to either a) restrict its use to non-judgment calls, or b) scrap it altogether, before it can inflict its holy horrors upon the English Premiership?
