WC 2022 VAR accuaracy

[one]

After the two VAR decisions tonight, one to review for pen after a footballing contact, and the other disallowing a goal for an offside when a defender deliberately plays the ball, I am just fed up with it. We can't have so much money spent on VAR and end up with these sort of decisions.

Excuse the sarcasm with the poll.

I’ve been convinced it’s rubbish since my first stadium experience with VAR a few years ago.

They are all nonsense stats anyway. Except for a few factual decisions, it is trying to quantify the subjective. To do this Fifa will need to decide if they were 'right' or 'nearly right'.

They set the test. They decide on the mark scheme. They mark the test.

I went to watch Tottenham v Rochdale I think it was in the FA Cup at Wembley a few years back (when WHL was being rebuilt) and my first taste of VAR.

Have to say I found it annoying.. the really cold weather may have had something to do with it...
If I recall one decision took about 4-5 minutes. The groundsman took full advantage and cleared snow off the pitch around the goal area lines.
But it took forever for minor things and I wasn't a fan.
Still not, but it's improving, just so slowly about it.
