I HATE VAR, the times where the side ref doesn't call offsides to "let the play run," come on! And then where it looks like a goal, but his pinky finger was offsides, so VAR overrules it. What a blemish on the beautiful game. Great article.

Thanks for reading Charlie and welcome to my club!!! VAR is a blight on the game and (whisper it) it's only going to get worse. Hooray! The premise works in other sports but primarily those that lean into a stop/start game already. Football is instantaneous and spontaneous but alas, no more. Anyway, cheers for reading, nice one.
