I think it should be just clear and obvious injustice. Maradoona World Cup handball, Henry’s handball against Ireland etc. It shouldn’t be changing referees’ decisions because a player was a gnats %@#$&! onside or offside; or the 34th camera angle, when zoomed in, showed it barely touched someone’s elbow as with some people like burley saying llorente’s goal was handball.
The close decisions average themselves out, often in the same game, and certainly over a season or two. The clear injustices don’t.

Means the obviously contestable decisions would likely get looked at without being rinsed game in game out for every goal scored. It does have its uses but would love to keep something organic in football for once.

Yeah, I like this kind of idea. I’d give each manager 1 opportunity to ask for a var review per game, and if he’s right it rolls over and he continues to have 1 opportunity remaining for that game. If he’s wrong, he loses the right to ask for var for the rest of the game. This will discourage frivolous challenges, whilst preventing clear injustices.
