It needs to be added that the handball law was changed with VAR being brought in, presumably to replace subjective intentional handball with the supposedly objective t shirt bullshit where now no one has any fucking idea if it's a penalty when the ball hits an arm in the penalty area.
And whilst BT and Sky will never admit it, they will secretly love VAR as it's the one area where you get a better viewing experience watching on TV, seeing multiple super slow-mo angles, than at the game where you wait for 3 minutes to get a message on the screen saying VAR are looking into it. And they will then love the controversy it generates.
And looking at tackles in super slow-mo actually gives a distorted impression and makes them appear much worse than they are leading to more red cards.
And if there's a high tackle in the middle of the pitch there's a tendency now for referees to give a yellow card and leave it to VAR to overrule them, so it's leading to refs fudging decisions which isn't going to lead to better officiating.
And the waiting around for decisions disrupts the entire flow of the game
And the biggest fucking irony of all is when they are checking offsides to the millimetre they don't then add all the fucking time it takes back on.
Fuck it right off.
