The problem is terrible weak refs such as Coote rely on VAR to make decisions for them because they are too scared to send off players from the big clubs.
Think that was more in disbelief that he'd made a tackle that shit.
Yes VAR doesn’t remove human error and never could do that because it’s still operated by humans. We don’t have offside goals now though. When there is a general mood to empower VAR officials over the on pitch ref, then I think other decisions will improve, until then we are stuck with whatever we have on the pitch, whether they are weak like today’s or not
Odd reasoning.

It's a bit sad that not much if anything can be done against blatantly suspicious officiating. It really does smell as if there's something going on there, that should it ever reach the light of day, could turn the sport upside down. Football needs to seriously consider the Australian A-League system where VAR explains its decision-making, over public address on a decision by decision basis.
