Nope. Disagree entirely.

The Champions league system for offsides is impeccable.

Rugby have an excellent system for helping with decisions.

The length of time for decisions, lack of transparency, poor running, lack of communication, the inconsistencies from what is and what isn't a foul is completely broken.

They were so heavily criticised, and instead of responding, they just fine anyone who complains.

They're their own worst enemy. I have no idea how it's been implemented so poorly that people would rather go back to none at all due to the lack of want to improve.

It's pathetic, it's too long, it's adding 10+ minutes to games with overtime.

What they need to do.

Have cameras on either side of pitch on rails keeping with last man at all times.

Miked up people making decisions, replays in the stadium showing exactly what happened with audio of the decision.

Much better software for offside, goal tech etc.

More camera angles in the box to detect penalties.

CONSISTENCY. Players should be afraid to dive.

The current lot aren't up to it. Heads need to roll and training has to be prioritised.
