    Seriously, part of the problem is people obsessing over the match officials far too much and looking far too hard for any supposed slight on their team or a bigger reason than “it’s a subjective call”. The notions of"corruption" that occur on here every week are, frankly, laughable.

People who expected VAR to bring a new dawn of flawless, consistent decision making were expecting the impossible.

    Yes VAR can improve, but people have to accept it’s limitations…
