VAR aka the Sydney City benefit programme, has been a complete shambles. I appreciate it may take some time getting used to but instead of allowing a game to flow, it holds it up for around 5 minutes per query. I'm surprised the TV coverage doesn't go to commercials or are the FFA going to introduce commercial breaks in games as another money earner?

Also the officials manning the system are the same numpties that screw up decisions on the pitch so there still is not any improvement. 

I would suggest professional referees but then the FFA would have to go overseas to find anyone competent enough to be one. This current lot are as embarrassing now as the match officials in season one of the A League. Not one single ounce of improvement.
