This is why VAR is rubbish 👇👇👇👇

It cannot resolve the subjectivity of marginal calls and therefore just delays the game.

Offside is fine. Major errors fine (e.g. Henry handball). Everything else should be left to the referee.

For anyone who asks how you decide a 'major error' - the VAR offical watches one replay in real time. If it isn't obviously wrong then the on pitch decision stands.
