Clean till you're blue in the face Allan, you'll never get all the blemishes out while humans are involved.

VAR has been oversold, just like the "fit and proper persons" test. It won't fix everything but it will make some things more accurate. The offsides being looked at to the nth degree was agreed by the clubs and this is factual, you are offside or you aren't. It's less used on more subjective decisions eg penalties and handballs, unless it gives a view the ref has missed.They have been bad at communicating how it is used.Also I don't understand the handball rule anymore.
Seems like it just gives the officials a second opportunity to get a decision wrong.
A competition like the Carabao Cup should either have VAR all the way through or not have it at all. It will not be used until the semi finals.

The system operating in last year's World Cup wasn't perfect but felt like progress. This current incarnation hinders the game.
