You keep saying "just fix it," but we've been trying that for years. The Premier League has tweaked VAR what, five times now? Same complaints, same delays. That's not a fixable bug — that's a design flaw.
And sure, fans demand reviews on social media. But that's exactly my point. VAR has trained everyone to expect perfection. It's created this entitlement where every marginal offside gets scrutinized. You've shifted the incentives so refs are terrified to make a call without checking a monitor. That's not progress, that's a hostage situation.
The goal-line tech comparison doesn't work either. That's instant, binary, and doesn't interrupt the game. VAR is the opposite — subjective, slow, and kills momentum. You're comparing apples to oranges.
I'd rather have the occasional howler that everyone accepts as part of the game than this constant, joyless legal battle over millimeters. Abolish it.
