No problem. Opinions make the world go round.

VAR could be utterly perfect and some would still find “corruption”.
It was sold to the football watching public as 'The Solution'.
In practice it is not, far from it. Why do you think that is?
Do you think it is very suspicious how bad it is implemented? Even if you disregard intentional "espionage", there are so many bad decisions that there is valid reasons to be questioning operational integrity.

It was sold as getting more decisions right, not all.

Subjectivity means 100% is impossible.

The vast majority of VAR decisions aren’t discussed. It’s only the marginal ones where subjectivity comes in that are.

Why do you think the refs are not mic'd up? Seems easy to implement, would get fans back onside with the refs, and explain decisions according to the football laws.
Seems counterproductive not to.

Why are some close decisions cleared in a matter of seconds, while some last for minutes?
Seems suspicious, or incompetent.

Why are two very similar offences in 2 separate games treated so differently? Some offences that see severe punishment in 1 game gets barely a look in another.
Seems there is a lack of agreement among referees as to what constitutes an offensive act.

If I am correct there is a conscious effort to manipulate certain situations to favour certain teams, not through favouritism, but through pigmol self preservation.
If you are correct there is a severe breakdown in the mutual agreements between referees as to what the laws of the game actually mean, furthermore, the ego's/bias of referees are influencing decisions and results to preserve their view of the game over the laws of the game.
Or, 1 final option... that the game itself has so many opposing opinions its laws are intrinsically ungovernable to an acceptable level.

They are mic‘d up. They’re now thinking about releasing the audio of them.

Could the length of time made to make a decision vary depending on the VAR operator’s competence with technology?

Subjectivity exists. Different outcomes to similar incidents will always happen. The orange card effect.

If certain teams are being favoured, it doesn’t seem to be working out well for those teams, unless you’re suggesting it’s a factor in us winning the league 4 out of 5 years.

You are skirting around my points. With, I must say, some poor answers.
