[Evening Standard] Check complete: The VAR experiment in football has failed - it’s time to bin it — Dan Kilpatrick

https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/var-tottenham-vs-liverpool-replay-premier-league-2023-b1111413.html

Summary: VAR in football has failed - it robs goals of joy, replaces ref errors with new errors, fuels endless tedious debate, piles pressure on officials and gives unrealistic expectation of perfection. Scrap it and take a step back - imperfect human decisions are part of the game.

    True. I remember how well perceived it was during the world cup. 30s decisions and pretty much all correct.
