FIFA's law-making arm, the International Football Association Board, will discuss the plan this week and Australia has reportedly offered to try it in the A-League.
IFAB will also discuss the merits of an alternative whereby referees instantly explain VAR decisions to spectators and viewers.
You feel this development is a move designed to placate all those who hate the VAR system that is destroying the fabric of the game.
It would appear that the A-League wants to make VAR more palatable and transparent by introducing live dialogue in order to explain refs' decisions.
But this is a band-aid solution to this VAR disaster and won't work for several reasons.
Firstly, having mid-match discussions whenever VAR comes into action will continue to fragment the game.
Secondly, the live 'theatre' could transfer the spotlight from the players to the referees, which is not what fans pay for.
Thirdly, since the standard of our referees leaves a lot to be desired, making them explain their often erratic judgments will backfire because you can never justify a bad decision.
Fourthly, the refereeing brotherhood is unlikely to air its disagreements in public and the proposed live discussions will become nothing less than a charade.
The fifth and most important reason is that the controversies VAR has created by its very existence won't go away until the system is kicked out of the game that has done rather well without technology for a hundred years.
VAR is killing the spirit, flow, emotion and spontaneity of football and for the sake of getting some wrong decisions reversed - only sometimes, mind you - we are now stuck with a system that sucks and is detested by the vast majority of fans, players, coaches and clubs.
Our game's ruling body, Football Federation Australia, gave a firm no comment when asked why it persists with VAR when everybody hates it.
The Australian Professional Football Clubs' Association representing the A-League was unavailable.
The vast majority of disgruntled football followers would love an answer to this simple and fair question.
The A-League's mind-boggling persistence with VAR and FFA's refusal to talk about the issue after saying it will make transparency one of its operating slogans encourages indignation and derision if not suspicion.
It makes you wonder what's behind this nonsense that is harming the struggling A-League, as if the competition does not have enough problems of its own.
Was the A-League blinded by the positive reaction to the novelty of referee Chris Beath's post-match explanation of three incidents during the round 12 game between Adelaide United and Western Sydney Wanderers?
Is FFA doing all this to be seen as FIFA-friendly in the weeks leading up to the vote to determine the hosts of the 2023 Women's World Cup?
Is our game's governing body being remunerated for being FIFA's guinea pig?
Remember, Australia was also the first country to trial VAR in its premier club championship.
These are issues FFA or the A-League should feel obliged to clarify because the fans who support the competition by going to the games or watching them on television deserve to know why their sport is being indirectly hijacked by some foreign company that must be making millions from VAR with the blessing of FIFA.
You can never tell if VAR is the main reason for the alarming drop in interest in the A-League but it undoubtedly is affecting the competition's appeal.
Failure to properly address this thorny issue will only add credence to the notion that the modus operandi of the new FFA is effectively not much different to the previous one.
