VAR + transparency + consistency = a fair system
VAR - transparency = open to manipulation
Link the officials microphones to the PA system so we can hear what they say; let’s see the same pictures on TV and in the ground; it can still work.

Will we eventually see the day when the authorities can retrospectively change a result the day after a game? Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest with these corrupt fuckers

All VAR needs is some common sense applied..
If a striker is level with a defender then he is on side.
this has always been the case prior to this season,and these stupid officials disallowing goals for Armpits/Fingers etc being Off side
Admittedly not the only problem.
Also who ever is doing the VAR adjudicating applies their own criteria.We have seen inconsistencies every week.The longer this is happening, the more it appears to be deliberate.
No such thing as level - look at horse racing results for level (spoiler alert - there's a couple out of hundreds of thousands of races).

Which would be a clear pen if done on Mane wouldn’t it?I wouldn’t say clattered. He leant on him.
There are several sources of bias in a system. In the case of refereeing, it's the officials. I don't see how you can argue that the outcome is not biased against City when we have seen the results over several months, however these are the same officials who routinely made the calls in the old system so all that's happened is that the bias is now being highlighted. It's always been there. Penalties and offside calls at Anfield and Old Trafford have always been an issue, so for me the issue with VAR is not that it's unequal but that it stops and interrupts the game. And when it stops and interrupts the game, and still produces controversial results, there really is no point.
I also think the referee's self-assessment is a joke. They produce all these stats regarding the quality of the decisions, but they are standing by a lot of decisions which are highly questionable. There are a lot of questions to be asked about this system but only football fans seem to raise them.

I would replace the word “questionable” in your last paragraph with the word “wrong”. Also of course VAR is worse than before - var is a clear second opinion, with all the technology, and they STILL get it wrong. And at least it confirms what we always knew, the officials in PGMOL and UEFA are cheatsThere are several sources of bias in a system. In the case of refereeing, it's the officials.
