Originally posted by SW19 CPFC It's a nice suggestion, but you'd also have to weigh up the negative effects of it being introduced, eg. time wasting and tactical use. Much like players using it to their advantage in tennis – allowing time for recovery, or breaking an opponents concentration, stopping the momentum and so on. You're also adding to the amount of stoppages across the game. It's not a silver bullet. It's a fair point SW19 however I'd add that is already happening and to an unlimited extent. I'm sure I've watched a fair few games where a ludicrous amount of time is dedicated to players just standing around on the pitch waiting for VAR. Just say 2 calls per game in any instance, or even 1 (the rest of the game playing out as per usual). You could only challenge an incorrect call at the end of the day otherwise you would not retain your challenge. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
