Is it even possible to remove subjectivity from the officiating? Words like ‘negligible’, ‘deliberate’ and ‘dangerous’ currently do a lot of the heavy lifting in the laws of the game, all of which are quantifiable and open to interpretation.

How could realistic technology, either now or in the future, help the officials with the black/white yes/no in/out decisions?

Constructive discussion only please.

    Get rid of VAR. Keep only goal line technology People complained about refs getting decisions wrong so VAR came in. Now people still complain about refs getting decisions wrong but the game also gets stopped for 3-4 minutes at a time multiple times per game.

    When VAR was first introduced it was done well. It was only used for clear and obvious errors. The more people complain, the more VAR gets used because “if its there why not use it”. We have not been able to contain the use of VAR to what its original purpose was.

    Football is subjective. Sometimes a decision goes against your team and thats part of it. I despise this search for perfect officiating and constantly bickering over what are often subjective instances in games. Subjective decisions aren’t suddenly going to be universally agreed upon because we add more technology. Let refs make decisions, let the game flow
