I *always* said that implementation would be the issue, particularly when trying to determine fouls and handballs.

If pundits in a studio can't agree, how was this suddenly going to make things ok?

Cracked me up when posters spoke of resolving ref 'corruption' and big club bias and then - of course - accused VAR of big club bias.
