VAR - is there anyone who actually thinks it's a good idea?

In the (good) old days, sometimes mistakes were made, but over a season the chances are the right and wrong decisions cancelled each other out. But VAR stops the flow of games and still mistakes are made.

Sometimes it works..and sometimes it doesn't. There still doesn't seem to be the consistency there should be..
I think its better this season and some of the rules make more sense in terms of offside but still far from perfect. And it does stop the flow when it takes forever to come to a decision that seemed was clear in the first place

I hate it. I follow lower league football so don't have to deal with it week in week out, but before we'd seen it in action for bigger games, I think most fans would have said it was a good thing. Not anymore.

The Premiership hasn't been about fans for a long time though. There's so much money riding on these split second decisions, that human error needs to be ruled out.
