In that example in the vid. The VAR could have been straight on the penalty incident while play was going on. As soon as he sees it was a pen, he tells the ref to stop play and go back to award the penalty. That would be better than waiting for the next natural stoppage.

The referee then used VAR and gave a penalty - two minutes or so after the original incident.By the time chaos and protests from both sets of players had finished, it was 5 or 6 minutes later.Not for me.It worked well tonight - Chelsea's pen appeal. Play went on for a while afterwards. Then around a mins wait for a decision holding up the corner. VAR neatly backed up the original decision. Stress taken out of the game.BUT, I'd rather have the controversy hanging. The VAR decision killed that edge of the game for me, too sanitised.The problem for me was waiting for the ball to go out of play in order to allow the VAR system to review the incident. It took over a minute of Chelsea attacking until they eventually forced a corner. What would have happened if they had scored in that period? If the VAR had decided that it should have been a penalty, would the goal have been chalked off and the penalty given. Would an advantage apply?Even worse, what if Arsenal had gone up the other end and scored? What would have happened if that Arsenal goal had been the last kick of the game. We could have the farcical situation of an Arsenal 1-0 win turning into a 1-0 defeat. All hypothetical I know, but as VAR becomes more common we are going to get these situations where the ball doesn't go out of play for several minutes. Could we have sendings off rescinded, because play has been brought back for a penalty to be given?All issues which I think need to be addressed before they happen for real!!This is what happened in Holland and why it doesn't work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Z_dXhrPQUOf course it works, it was a penalty, without VAR they would’ve been wrongfully 2-0 down.It takes nearly two minutes to reach the decision from the incident happening, then by the time the furore/protests have finished, it's about five minutes before the penalty is actually taken.Until it's done within 30 seconds or so, it's going to be difficult to take to.I also think it needs the video referee to come out, after a contentious incident, and explain why he's reached that decision. If not, there's always going to be debate and controversy around decisions and it'll be subjective.

Once VAR is used play would have to stop.
It would help enormously if assistant referees,took part in the game and gave decisions other than when the ball goes out of play, like they used to do. I am convinced that some top referees tell them to leave the penalty areas to them.

I can't remember the last time I saw a linesman flag for a penalty.
Why does the ref need to run of the pitch to watch it. Just let someone in the stands watch it and tell the ref. It won't work if the ref has to run off the pitch to watch it himself after every incident

It won't work if the ref has to run off the pitch to watch it himself after every incident He doesn't. There's people watching the game at PL HQ (or the equivalent for the country it's in) and they review all the footage, the referee can refer to them or they can speak to the referee if they think he's missed something major. The referee has the option to then look at the video himself but he doesn't have to at all.

Seems a bit weird to me.
Why are the linesmen called Assistant referees. They give almost no help at all to the refs on important decisions. Some of them can’t even run the line properly. The Lino had a perfect view from side on for the Copps penalty as did the Lino for the Copps penalty against Rochdale. What did they see. Nothing, REALLY, they must have been thinking about what they were having for tea when they got home.Total incompetence. The ref of course should have seen it also of course.

The ref of course should have seen it also of course.The west stand lino didn't even make his own decisions on throw ins or corners yesterday - at one point he indicated a corner to us then changed his mind when the ref gave a goal kick and numerous times looked to the ref before indicating which way a throw in should be given, even though the ref was miles away from play (constantly!!).
Have to say I'm not a big fan of V.A.R.! I think it slows the game down and more importantly gives teams under pressure breather. Goal line technology - yes for sure. But this whole stopping the game, lets watch a screen and then give a decision is not why we all love watching football. This isn't Rugby Union where we have to give the big props more time to have a breather before they get themselves back in the scrum. This is high intensity football matches where we want to see as much free flowing football as possible. Outside of the PL the ball is only in play on average 60 minutes per game and even if the ref was to stop his watch every time he went to look at the screen it still affects the ebb and flow of football matches.
