Managers got sacked before VAR was introduced and teams will
definitely continue to be relegated with or without VAR. This
was a poor offside decision. How many additional poor offside
decisions would we have had this season without VAR?

Hooper I thought was excellent. Beck and VAR were terrible.
Agreed beck made a mistake but from his position he cannot make
a credible decision.
VAR can rule Jota and the Wolves player offside for having a
string of sleeve offside but when someone is TWO YARDS onside
they come up with any excuse to justify their awful system of
decision making.
If they cannot get the lines on to the screen don’t use them
because it becomes (as we saw last night) a farce! Thank god the
terrible decisions seen this week have had no impact on the
final result!

Good to see that people come on here and try to defend the
indefensible.. UNCALLED FOR COMMENT EDITED OUT
The laughing stock of the footballing world they are. It’s not
acceptable and shouldn’t be. A mistake? I use the word
incompetent....

I don't think that encouraging people to do what has now been
edited out is helpful in any circumstances, and certainly not in
this case. People are entitled to their opinion and to an
opinion that differs from yours. Perhaps if you avoided the
hyperbole ("they must be sacked", "incompetent") your reasonable
arguments may hold greater sway.
PS: I thought it was a rubbish decision as well. But less the
blame of the VAR "operatives" than the people telling them what
to do and how to do it. When it is your main source of income,
one tends to do as the boss says. The history of football is
littered with plenty of "brave" referees who have called it as
it is and seen their careers suffer as a result. When it was a
hobby / pastime, getting on the wrong side of the "boss" was way
less serious than when it is the day job.
