I'm actually quite pro VAR but, currently, they are wasting an awful lot of money to continually arrive at the wrong decisions every week.

Even with VAR there is always going to be some wrong decisions here and there but we literally get multiple awful decisions every week.

You then have Dermot Gallagher on Sky every Mon backing his mates telling us they got every decision correct, when the Sky presenter and 2 ex pros are telling him he's wrong. The refs all backing each other is the big problem when they are clueless to start with.

I agree that the person reviewing the VAR should be an unbiased ex pro and not a ref. The offsides should be a single line to the defender and is the striker clearly beyond that line, if it's difficult to tell, then he's onside.
