VAR if left as just goal line technology would have been fine and if a sensible reasoning had been applied to what is classed as offside and applied to the VAR system then that would also have been fine. Penalties should always be left to the officials on the field because as we see now everything about the nature of the game we love, the spontaneity, is being entirely controlled by machine.The interpretation of the laws and then fed into the VAR system is entirely of the football authorities own making, they pandered to the football pundits, players and managers making
negative remarks around refereeing decisions they disagreed with, even using slow motion replays to back up their arguments. Well the authorities listened and after so much negativity aimed at referees on the field by observers of the game, they applied overkill and now we have the shit show that is VAR. Of course it’s VAR’s fault now but of course it isn’t, the pundits are complaining of overkill, well who started it? As for the fans walking out in this case, well it’s a gesture they must feel strongly about but I can’t see it catching on TBH.
