Not sure you could make this shit up!!!
There is a lot being done in various places to discredit VAR. I wonder why that might be.
That's exactly how I see it.
There is no reason it can't be an instant call. Like a linesman that calls a foul because the ref is too far away to see it.
Quite simple.
The likes of last night is there to completely take the piss out of it. How long did it take to bring in goal line technology and what was the reason given for taking so many years?
