"I'd be in a minority I know but I've never bought into the tearful dismissals of VAR. Technology came in largely because fans couldn't cope with 'unfair' decisions against their team. VAR has had its faults of course but it's better that more decisions are right now. @Nick_Metcalfe Should be a fan of better officiating. VAR has allowed the standard to fall so much that when its not in use it highlights the awful standrad. Refs have become to reliant on VAR and its become a vicious circle. @Nick_Metcalfe Should be a fan of better officiating. VAR has allowed the standard to fall so much that"

I think they should carry on playing until Manchester United score here. It's good for football and good for the country when United are doing well.
