Need to sack u first … HORRIBLE REF
You have to take a test for a referee certificate, right? Refs theoretical knowledge is guaranteed, but ability to deal with emergencies is not so good. Maybe that's why they did a lot mistakes.
I bet this gamble is the last roll of the dice for var that might pay off.
How about you hire smart people who have no skin in the game? Lawyer types who know the laws and know how to apply them.
Let me guess ex manure players
Gary Neville refereeing Man Utd Liverpool with Carragher and Micah Richards as his assistants. A stupendous idea.
Shocking idea, the bias is crazy with ex-professionals and they expose their terrible opinions every week on national TV
I still want a third party company in control of VAR to stop this mafia like protection shit from going on. A third party company can be criticized and if they are poor another one can be brought in.
I also want people with no professional footballing background involved as well to give an outside perspective.
But at the minute I want this “clear and obvious” bullshit gone. Have two people in var (let’s call them var 1&2) and for every incident looked at Var 1 & 2 decide separately on the incident. If they both agree then their decision is used. If Var 1&2 disagree, then you send the referee to the monitor for the tie breaking vote.

Sure this process will not be biased at all just like those so called independent panels we keep hearing about.
Good luck finding footballers suited to this job
Go for a broad selection of ex players of different positions and managers, ideally those who have not played/worked together, who also have no current professional affiliations with clubs. Along with ideally past evidence of having the ability to be objective when assessing a situation. Its rare but you will see players acknowledging controversial calls that go against them as correct, i feel this is a pretty valid proof of some form of integrity towards the game and would be able to add to the conversation about rules.
Right now we have many pundits [normally ex-players] with varying opinions on the rules, but there are some rules that they do all agree on as being bad for the game. These are new rules that haven't always existed in football that were created by people who don't have the same experience of the game as players who have played at the top level. I think getting them in to help with var is not the best decision right now as they have different opinions of the current rules. Maybe it would be smarter to have them as consultants for when Howard Webb and co want to set the rules for the new season. Once the rules are set you cant argue bias as everyone is playing off the same rules. Maybe after doing this have the players also consulting with var as a separate entity, to help create a interesting dynamic for the "separation of power" as mentioned in a comment below, something else i think could help with avoiding errors

I actually think that having a former pro on the VAR team is a worthwhile idea, but it does present its own issues.

Bias may be harder to account for.

What ex-pro is going to want that job? It would have to be an ex-player who played low down in the league system and even then, I doubt many would like the job.
