"My opinion, and this is not just about Aberdeen, but for the whole Scottish Premiership, is that if it takes four minutes to make a decision, it's not clear and obvious," Cormack told BBC Scotland."
"If they can't make a decision within 60 seconds, the on field decision should be upheld."
"However, if the inconsistency of decision-making continues, we should suspend it indefinitely until such times as it can be consistently relied upon."
"When video assistant referees were first proposed four years ago, the Scottish FA's pitch was that VAR would increase the volume of correct decisions and do so with a light-touch approach that minimised disruption to the game," added Cormack."
Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack urges a 60-second limit on VAR checks in Scottish Premiership matches, arguing lengthy reviews hurt the stadium fan experience. He proposes that if a decision is not clear and obvious within one minute the referee's on-field decision should stand. Cormack warns that persistent inconsistency in VAR decision-making should lead to an indefinite suspension until reliability is restored. He previously said he would ditch VAR if it were solely his choice, though full abandonment is not currently planned. Several Premiership managers have publicly criticised VAR and recent incorrect calls.
