I think looking at everything and them waiting for a break in play will cause even more issues. What if there is no stoppage for 5 minutes? What if another infringement requiring VAR happens during the interim? What happens if there is a red card offence in the interim but then you go back and VAR shows an earlier offence? And so on.At the moment if it feels like the PL amongst others is in Beta testing mode for the rest of football and it will be something like version 6.3 before they get it right.

Ref blows up and then makes a call as to whether he wants to check the screen himself to be sure, but in most cases he should be instructed to take the advice and make the call without a need to review.
If the 'goal' isn't disallowed by the time the other team kicks off again, then the 'goal' should be awarded. Bloody stupid waiting for three whole minutes before the VAR squad get their act together.
I just think they should use the cricket or tennis model. Each team gets one “appeal” per game - if they get it right they keep it. Appeals only overturn the ref’s decision if it’s clearly wrong.
Shocking mis-use of it in many games today. Not fit for purpose.
