First, I really didn't have a problem with the game before VAR.
There are many, many hours of football broadcasting to fill, and they will always find some controversy in the application of the rules to fill it. Let's not be fooled into think there will ever be a time when there is no controversy arounf officiating.
Of the options there, I'd bin it.
However, my preference would be to give each manager a challenge to review a decision. If you win that challenge, you keep your right to challenge. If you've used it and lost, well that's your fault, isn't it?
It would lead to a lot of late goals being optimistically challenged (as a lot of Test matches now end on a challenge).
However, I think it would allow the use of technology without making it too obtrusive, and might limit some of the ref bashing by managers if they were themselves required to take some responsibility for the use of VAR
