Why can't Ref's carry around a Foldable phone etc. instead of having to walk off to look at a screen. (alien.top)

Imo VAR should only exist in a technical capacity to prepare footage to transfer onto a ref's portable Fold 5 or something. Samsung could sponsor it even!

The decisions should all be made by the ref on pitch and this would massively improve the speed of play during VAR. There's no reason they should have to walk off pitch.

~~Because they're still a novelty and if someone tries to boast to me about owning a style of phone we had 20 fucking years ago one more time, I'm going to cry.~~

The screen size is an issue and then getting the feed to sync up what VAR with wifi/mobile data not being great in stadiums normally, issues with decision making would possibly occur.
