His dandruff is offside. I can't stand VAR, although i think that a small portion of blame must go towards the fans (customers) who seem to get very annoyed when things go against their teams but not so when a poor decision goes their way. I'm probably in a minority when i say that it's the beauty of sport (certainly football) that we have contentious decisions and some that are plainly wrong. If people want to moan about a couple of decisions going against them over a season in order to justify their team being relegated and being shit for the most part then in my opinion they're not really dealing with the bigger issue. If we are to have VAR then why not just for semi finals and finals, where a balls up by the officials can be costly and deprive a club and it's fans of success.
