There is no point with this current crop of referees and their egos. The common sense approach would be that VAR is used to correct mistakes. However, the wording of it is actually "to correct obvious mistakes" meaning that if a decision can go either way they stick by what the on field referee has decided.

Makes no sense to do this, because instead of actually helping the referee it is hindering him.

In a decades time, when referees on the pitch realise thst they aren't gods and are simply there to facilitate the correct decisions relayed from a group of qualified referees able to watch countless replays, then VAR will be a good thing. It will stop players arguing with on field refs because those ****ers in black can say "it's not what I thought but I've been told"
