I'd be in favour of the VAR 'lite' concept that was floated a few seasons ago.
If that means VAR is only used to correct clear and obvious errors by the referee, then I agree 100%.

Be interesting to know if we had VAR how many more or less points we would have.
Burnley 2 more?
Last night it's 1-1 and we have a penalty for 2-1.
Something in the Millwall game too
Let's face it, over the last two seasons we have had some shocking decisions go against us and I cannot think of too many in our favour.
I seem to remember a period last season where we seemed to be getting apologies from the refs every other game.
So is it time for VAR?
It’d been good if you’d added VAR lite to the choices. I would’ve voted for that, imo we need something in between.
Good point, I never thought of that. I have no idea if I can change vote options, or if it is worth it now people have voted.
It's the first one of these I have done
The highlighted bit will never happen.I despise VAR and think it totally spoils the game, yet at the end of the game last night, I would have taken it.
Thinking about it this morning though, the clowns at the PGMOL don't have enough decent referees at match level, yet alone to have them doing VAR too.
We don't need VAR, what we need is competent officials in the first place.
The standard in the championship is the worst it's ever been and a lack of accountability which drives me mad.
That's not strictly true. There's no guarantee we would've scored the pen if given.
I don’t want VAR as I believe it benefits the better more attacking teams which we are not. I would be more in favour of a challenge system like in tennis and cricket. You get 2 challenges and the captain calls the challenge rather than every goal or penalty appeal scrutinised, taking so much time out of the game.
By teams, you include us in that? Because that is absolutely something we’d do. We try anything to slow the game down as much as possible.Good idea in principle.
The problem (as we’ve seen with the head injury rule) is that teams will use it to make spurious claims to slow the game down, waste time, etc.
It’ll just become another ‘tactical device’, justified as part of the ‘professional game’. 😕

Last night is one point docked and Burnley was three. We are four points down on where we should be based on refs
Just watching the rugby. Ref mic’d up and camera’d up. Communication with players and supporters on another level in this game.
