It doesn’t help when there’s a VAR decision that half the people say it’s correct and the other half say it’s terrible and corruption

How can officials win

They will win when they are fair and consistent.

I won’t be holding my breath.

One thing I'm sure we can agree on is that it is inconsistent, which is incidentaly one of the reasons it was brought in, to address inconsistency.

By applying the laws of the game and interpretations of the rules consistently regardless of the teams involved.

By communicating (or making communications available) to the football public so we understand why they have taken the decisions they have.

By being competent at their jobs.

Just three that I can think of.

That is the problem, VAR was designed for the crucial, possible errors that are clear, not any 50/50 foul or offside, they were supposed to be giving the benefit of the doubt to the ref.

Your disallowed goal and that foul before on the rag are exactly that and so VAR shpuldn't even be considered.

The fact that every decision a ref makes is and some that ain't too when it should is what is pissing many fans off nationwide.

Fans will always argue over a decision, the point of VAR and those officials trained on it was to elimimate doubt, but they are adding to it by being shite at using it.

Basically the officials choosing what is checked is inconsistant and so makes a mockery of the system

I can't think of a better way to hide corruption than pretending to be shit.

It is being used to help the “product”. Watch today is United get an iffy VAR decision in their favour because Arsenal can’t be allowed to run away with the league.

Like I said

It doesn’t help

Hurray now your getting it! VAR is still in reality a human decision so it is never going to prevent error BUT it does helpfully allow for clandestine officiating. Now you understand that IT CANT work you can see why we may as well just let refs do their job

By only using VAR for clear and obvious mistakes by the referee.

Yesterday the referee did not make a clear and obvious mistake when he allowed West Ham's second goal. Then VAR asked the referee to look at the monitor and he made a clear and obvious mistake and disallowed the goal. It's nonsense.
