But often, just to close the gap to the leaders a decision is made for a full safety car, so the guy in front who has worked his socks off to get a 10s lead suddenly has it closed down.

Last night's "width of a hair" off-side decision was farcical - where's the clear and obvious error? Oh yes, goalie possibly destroying a footballer's career - but no, not even looked at.

I guess we are just not very good with the use of technology yet.
Yes, the Van Dyke incident was exactly the sort of thing I thought VAR was going to be used for, yet it completely ignored it.
You can't believe VAR can get any worse, but somehow it still finds a way.
