...is that fair?
Everton have just had a goal disallowed for offside, in their FA Cup tie with Rotherham. VAR being the arbitrator.
That led to some salty Everton fan mention that Chorley, (my home town, just beating Derby currently. You may remember my article worrying about Chorley drawing United, we may be there again) won't have VAR at Victory Park.
Does salty scouse Mike have a point?
VAR being used in some ties, but not all..

The rules haven’t changed though.
No different to the use of hawk eye on the show courts but not on other courts, at Wimbledon, for example.

I guess that makes sense in that the tech should make the game better so use it where we can, but I hate VAR as it currently is so would happily scrap it across the board for FA Cup

I just want to be able to celebrate a goal properly without waiting for the check, then the moment having passed

Probably should be all or nothing

‘Chorley all or nothing’. Not sure Amazon have the budget for that...

As an Arsenal fan whose just seen Smith-Rowe get his red card rescinded and go on to score, I take back my last comments

I’d rather it be all or nothing personally. Admittedly, preferably nothing all the time, but that’s not going to happen now!

Yeah, I think it should be all or nothing too. But I suppose by the level playing field logic, you'd probably want the same referee officiating over every game and applying consistent standards throughout. So from that perspective, I don't really see how it makes a big difference.
Just seems like it emphasises the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots', which is the exact opposite of what the FA Cup traditionally tried to achieve. And it's from that perspective that I think it's wrong
