I hate VAR, not just for the way it sucks the soul out of the game, but also the fact that it was even considered necessary in the first place.
As said above, refs down the leagues tend to let a lot more go and the game tends to flow. Why is that? I'd suggest it's because despite not all contact being a foul, it's only because players, managers and the media at the top level suggest shyte like "he was entitled to go down" that the bar for an offence has been lowered.
To go alongside that, players are regularly initiating contact, like the penalty last night. Did Dijksteel foul the man or did their player simply make sure he got into the box and then change direction ensuring a clash of legs.
I don't see how you can have VAR in some games and not others and still apply the same laws as it's not the same game.
I feel aggrieved when a dodgy decision goes against us, but I'll equally accept when we get away with one.
Improve the standard of officiating and raise the threshold of what a foul is and stop tailoring the laws to accommodate VAR. We saw enough decisions over the weekend where VAR came to different conclusions to see that it is a waste of time.
