Am I the only person who finds VAR really annoying in general? Even for penalties, you end up in a lot of time wasted, and what do you get? Half-justified penalties where the defender ever so lightly tapped the other player with his toe

I'd much prefer a time limit. If it takes longer than 10 seconds to make a decision, you go with the original call. Solves the wasted time and hopefully lowers those millimetre decisions that require a microscope.
