11 months agoThe shit calls are still happening, VAR changes nothing except ruining goal celebrations and making everyone in the stadium stand and wait for three minutes anytime something happens.
VAR should be completely scrapped because it does nothing. Just in the week VAR spent ages getting a handball call wrong for a penalty in the CL - a timely reminder that VAR is still a ref watching an incident and making a judgement call.
You’re misunderstanding - VAR is still just a ref who will sometimes make bad calls. It changes nothing other than adding time to the game. It’s just a ref in a different room with exactly the same potential for bad decision making. It was only a few weeks ago that Mike Dean said he didn’t give a VAR call that he knew the ref had missed because he didn’t want to make it difficult for his mate.
VAR will sometimes get it right, in the same way that an on-field ref will, so what’s the point? VAR achieves nothing but slowing the game down and ruining goal celebrations.
