We have seen in recent games where they have used VAR. And the time wasted by using it.
We have cameras for touchline tech. All we have is another company joining the bandwagon.
What's the point of the camera's if you now have VAR

Read up on it more.
VAR is a fifth referee watching a display using existing cameras at PL grounds. They're literally using the cameras available at PL stadiums, that's why they haven't been seen in use in anything lower than the Premier League. There's no outside company. It's a standard fifth referee watching raw feeds from all available cameras.
The main gripe with it, is that it only shows raw feeds, no replays, rendering the entire idea of it a bit pointless. All the fifth referee gets is a slightly improved view at times, his decision making can still be bollocks.
The media and others have hyped it up like it's some form of Hawk-Eye system. It's literally a TV screen and a referee.
