So Kevin Nolan thinks the best way to use VAR is to let managers have 1 call each where they can ask for something to be reviewed ...
What is he on? How can a manager (potentially 60 or 70 yards away) be positioned better to see an incorrect call than somebody watching via a close up HD camera on a screen??
I get the concern over the additional time but if we want to reduce the chances and impact of incorrect decisions then the current use is the best way forward. As long as they stick to the major decisions that they have outlined then additional time won't be drastic.
They way it is being trialled at the moment is the right way to do it and the more it's used and people get used to using it the more effective it will become. The only thing i'd consider is whether the ref needs to go and watch a replay if the VAR thinks a decision needs changing, why not just trust the officials that are watching on the screen and overrule on their say?
I can't see Nolan getting too much support on his opinion here, it's bizarre.
