I mean come on VAR is like the ultimate buzzkill right now
. One minute it's saving lives by spotting that dodgy pen, next minute it's ruining the game with a dodgy call and everyone's up in arms
. I get it, errors happen but can't we just have a human ref for once? You know how it used to be, you trusted your instincts and let the game flow
. Now we've got these machines making decisions that can change the course of the game and no one knows why or how they made those calls
. It's like the refs are just following some fancy algorithm that only a few people understand
. And don't even get me started on player safety... what's the point of having all these rules if we're not gonna follow them to the letter? I mean, seriously, can't we just chill and enjoy the game for once?
