Only thing i slightly disagree with here is the last point, as there may be no other player near the ball and it would therefore speed the game back up if the closest player can return the ball to the point of the free kick otherwise all very good ideas. Needs something about the opposition...

Maybe a solution is to do what some other sports do, you have a set limit for the number of challenges you can make and these challenges are the times that VAR then reviews it? if successful, you keep your challenge, if not then you lose it (not sure if they keep if subjective) Cricket has...

This, the changes they made to the laws to make it easier to use VAR have been, in many cases, proven to be a disaster. Scrapping things like is the player interfering with play and going back to simply on or offside would simplify the process but what you are left with due to this rule is...

What VAR will never do, and will never be captured in any of the stats they produce to show how well (or poorly) VAR has been working, or which teams have benefitted most / least from VAR interventions is show how bias the officials are, especially towards the big six (they get awarded softer...
