One FIFA referee not knowing the rules all though they all take a rules of the game test and its strict one
Referee,AR1 4th Official and VAR referee all have FIFA badge
Two FIFA referees not knowing the rules is not OK
Four FIFA officials not knowing the laws of the game LOTG is disgraceful
I though VAR was meant to help referees, Instead it hasn't.

I'd call it a failed experiment.
Possibly because it's administered by the people it's meant to help (referees).
Maybe it's time to throw it open to a viewer vote?
Hard to call it a failed experiement when it isn't an experiment. VAR is here to stay, rightly or wrongly.

I think by and large the VAR has imoroved to the game massively, of course it's not 100% accurate and can still be improved but it's mad e a positive difference to football.

I agree that VAR hasn't worked well in the EPL so far - but it's new to the competition so give it time.
I mainly watch A-League and Serie A and I've seen a lot of incorrect decisions being overturned which makes for a more fair game, especially in Italy where bigger clubs (read: Juventus!) often get the benefit of the doubt.
It does interrupt the flow of the game, but if it this means a penalty is awarded or goal disallowed (correctly), then I'm all for it.

I don't deny that on many occasions it corrects bad calls, but I don't think it does that often enough to justify the imposition on the flow of the game. And an incorrect or inexplicable VAR decision is way more frustrating than a ref missing something on the field. I like the goal line technology because it's unambiguous and unobtrusive but VAR is the opposite. It's meant to reduce howlers but its created just as many, and half the time it's used to address marginal calls that could have gone either way

Totally agree with the bit in bold. There really shouldn't be any instances of that (as we've seen just over a week ago)...
