My only comment would be “just fuck VAR off”.  
Far better we vilify certain players and teams for getting away with stuff without the interference of VAR.

No chance that happening here - there are so many mistakes we would never finish the season

“And Liverpool face City for the fifteenth time this season, let’s hope VAR has a better day this time”

“… VAR fuelling completely nonsensical allegations of corruption.”

Wolves lawyers: “to be honest lads, we’d better amend ‘perfectly understandable’ to ‘completely nonsensical’, or they’ll be down on us like a ton of fucking bricks.”

Incidentally…

_Any rule changes need a two-thirds majority - 14 of of the 20 clubs - to vote in favour._

So the calculation will be, how much will it cost the few clubs that clearly benefit from VAR to lean on enough smaller clubs to vote their way? 😒😉

Some Finnish or Norwegian match got abandoned due to the crowd throwing fishcakes and tennis balls on the pitch in protest at VAR.

That means VAR will not intervene if it could possibly go against one of the “big six”

My problem with it is not the gnat’s cock accuracy but the common sense interpretation…does AI do common sense because the human exponents don’t seem to.
