So the ref can wrongly send a player off, he can wrongly book someone when they should be off, he can wrongly rule that a striker fouled a defender when creating a scoring chance, but when he thinks that the goal he's just seen is fine, he's got to accept the judgement of the VR?

YES...you have finally got it!!!
Punishments can be reviewed after the game.

A goal has been scored. How much time (or distance) can the VR go back to disallow the goal?

This is the point I made before. What happens if the goal is scored from a free kick that shouldn't have been given? Does it get disallowed or is the ref overruled?

Who decides that a goal/potential goal is taken to the VR?

Is the VR only for goals? I think a VR for red cards and penalty decisions is needed just as much as a VR for goals.

See now I have got you down to time and distances....that's progress.
This situation is very similar to what happens in rugby league in the top televised games. The ref checks on obstructions, knock-ons etc since the last play the ball and something could be sorted in football.....it's not for me to define the parameters...but it can be done.
I am only interested in helping the ref get it right.
I can sympathise with your concern...but it's all a bit defeatist.

Pleased Ghana got through and disappointed for SK although the Suarez goal was a great winner. Looks a proper striker that one. I think his buy out clause is about £45m though.

I'd be interested to see how he'd go in one of the big leagues. I feel he's stagnating in the Eredivisie. I mean, where do you go after you've banged in 50-odd in a season?
He'd be a world beater if he didn't fall over quite so readily...

He could do a Kezman and go to Chelsea and fail miserably.
