I accept that they should use technology, but we absolutely shouldn't be accepting crap VAR decisions. If we don't call them out on it nothing will ever change.
It was brought in with good intentions, but like with everything there will always be those who will seek to use the situation to their advantage either by bending/blurring/breaking the rules, or just plain old cheating and lying.
With VAR in its current guise there are flaws in the system (mainly the human in the loop) that can be exploited. With a human in the loop system there will always be an element of variance in any decision making process (without factoring in conscious/unconscious bias), but any human can also have corrupt intentions. Then you have the issue of the video frame rates and offside decisions as to when the pass was made which can have a huge impact on the on/offside decision. Yes, they are attempting to address this with an accelerometer in the ball to determine the exact moment a pass is made which 'should' make it more accurate, but its still a 50fps camera system which needs long and careful calibration and if you knock a single camera during the game it throws the calibration out and invalidates any subsequent measurements.
Basically it boils down to the fact that there is opportunity and motive for 'individuals' to manipulate the system, and where there is opportunity, there will ALWAYS be someone motivated to try and exploit it. I personally think it's naive to believe VAR hasn't been used nefariously during its 4 years in operation, but on what scale I couldn't say.
