OK..We all know that the game now has time limits on everything, from throw in's, goal kicks etc..

Now after the farce on our last game, I think the same thing should, and must apply to VAR checks...1 minute should be the limit, if they can't decide in that time, after they have all the angle's to look at, then if they are still confused, then the decision should be null and void..enough, this is backfiring on the game, and is just getting ridiculous..that ref on Saturday was totally confused which in itself was enough reason to reject the claim for a penalty.

Palace forever..

Here since 81...(LAST CENTURY !!).. x-Dunraven School, early 1960.... Palace 'nut' since 58....

Im 100% against the use of var in football , it takes away too much of the enjoyment to warrent correcting a few wrong decisions .

If we are going to use it I would go all in and give the VAR ref the final say . Almost every var referal is upheld anyway so lets just cut out the farce of the ref making shapes with his hands and going over to the monitor for 5 minutes

For me, VAR is used in the wrong spirit.

On one hand, it had become farcical that TV viewers all over the world could see, within a few seconds of the goal being scored, that players like Diego Maradona (v England) or Thierry Henry (v Ireland) had cheated through handball, but that those huge, career-defining games just carried on as if the information didn't exist. The cheated teams got knocked out when everyone watching knew what had happened at the time, whilst the game was still live. VAR should prevent that.

On the other hand, I couldn't care less whether someone is a fraction of an inch offside. I don't think most supporters ever cared about that level of detail, until the stupid sports media introduced 10 different slow-motion angles of every incident, and set to work picking apart refs just so mock-outrage could be stoked amongst the phone-in brigade.

For over 150 years, football has swept across the world like wildfire, becoming the most popular global sport ever. Whatever it was within the DNA of the game that made it so potent, standing around waiting for a forensic analysis of whether every goal is technically valid wasn't part of the spirit that served the game so well.

I would tell VAR that they have seven seconds once the goal has gone in to spot anything obviously wrong with it. They can only watch replays in real-time, cannot pause the image, and certainly cannot draw lines on the screen. If you cannot spot the offence quickly with the naked eye, then it's not bad enough to bother about. After that, all that would be left is to tell the media companies not to undermine the spirit of the game with all their unnecessary analysis of decisions, when there is plenty of actual football for them to talk about, and perhaps we could get back to football being a fast, competitive game in which human error is part of the recipe.

I would have VAR but only for gross acts of cheating and/or truely terrible errors.

I agree with the sentiment of nearly every post in this topic, however, it wouldn't have helped Palace out on this occasion.

If you want 7 seconds, non-slow mo, make sure its clear and obvious, then for Saturday's situation, the penalty stands because that's what the Ref wanted. It would only work in our favour if the Ref said no pen and then VAR decided actually it was.

I get though that the debate is about wider football and not just lil old Palace. That side of the conversation I agree with but the side just specifically about our incident, shocking the Ref can't see it's at least doubtful if he watches it for 5 minutes and that's where a pen especially should be revoked.

VAR should flag if something has gone wrong in the game, not be used to check every single decision. Unless VAR has flagged something, play should resume as normal

La la la your mum

Var should be 30 seconds if you cant see a obvious error in that time ref decision stands right or wrong , unless it involves a red card lets get back to football not maybes
