VAR is a good idea as it should help the refs who can't see everything...

From every angle.

In general the NFL model works pretty well and they get the vast majority of decisions right.
If it's too close to call in 90 seconds then the original call stands.
Everyone pretty much accepts this.
Some of the VAR decisions have been bizarre.
Because it's on one person.
Surely it would help if there is a committee of officials to catch egregious errors.
A multi billion pound business and we don't want to pay two more people a few hundred quid a day
