The more I think about it, the more I think a "five replays" threshold is the way to go. That way you get rid of the stupid Abraham goal Villa got in the non-VAR FA Cup tie (one replay needed there) but you should keep delays down to a minute or two at best. And if you can't tell after that many then you're never going to tell.

Special rule if it's Ashley Barnes, use any technology necessary to deny that wanker anything nice.

Very much this.
Such a glaring contradiction that IFAB are looking to amend the rules for time wasting, so players are required to leave the pitch within 10 seconds for a substitution, yet they spent almost 9 minutes on 2 var checks.
