I can see your logic, and I do sympathise. Personally, I don't hate VAR but I do think the guys who run it need to be replaced. They are pretty much all incompetent. Too often they look for some way to show that cos of rule 238, section 4 sub section 3, paragraph 2 that yer man taking a chainsaw to the other team's keeper isn't actually a foul. When any sane football fan would just look at it and go, "Aye, that's a foul. You cant do that."
The whole 'clear and obvious' thing needs looked at. Too often, it seems, VAR look at an incident (the Wolves non pen) and think "well, I can see why he didnt give it, so no need to over turn it." When, again, any sane football fan knows that it's a penalty.
There will always be issues with the subjective decisions. Was Curtis Jones' tackle worthy of a red card? I think it was, and I'm a Liverpool fan. Yet most ex pro's, including the die hard Liverpool fan Gnev, say it shouldn't be.
It's the non subjective ones that VAR should not be getting wrong. Offside, being the prime example. You are either offside or not. The technology gives you a 100% certain answer. Yet we see them **** up like on Sunday, forget to draw the lines, draw them in the wrong place (now impossible, I think) or use an angle that misses the Arsenal player literally FIFTEEN ****ING YARDS offside. Those are the decisions that infuriate me, and not just cos some of them have harmed Pool. They are school boy level mistakes in a multi billion Pound industry. If any of us did that at work we would be fired. The PGMOL guys, get a week off.
I don't like the old boys ex-pro network who say you need an ex player in the VAR team, but I do think someone who isn't a referee should be included. Be that an ex player or a fan. Just someone who doesn't care about obscure rules but who knows that punching the opposition striker in the head (Onana), kicking through him (the Forest keeper on Monday night) or planting your foot in his head/chest (Jota and whoever it was who booted Gakpo) are ****ing penalties or red cards. Those aspects are not difficult. They should be getting them right a lot more than they do.
