Anti-VAR people often conveniently forget how
commonplace such botched offside calls used to be,
so goals like Maguire‘s can at least serve as a stark
reminder.
The thing is, Leicester City's stadium is equipped for VAR, so
they could have used it for this match. However, the FA in the
interest of "fairness" thought it was wise no to... but without
VAR you get to see how poor the officiating in England is
without it!
Regarding offside decisions I’m perfectly happy with
the VARobots.
Just wait until the semi-automated offside decisions come in to
the Premier League later on this season. Then the fun will
begin... as we all know the officials will find a way to fuck up
the automation somehow! :-)
