VAR is a terrible blight on the game.No consistency and it doesn’t seem to get lots of the big decisions right.What about the failure to give the Sheff Utd goal a few days ago when the keeper carried the ball into the net.

The problem is that it's humans using it.
That's not VARs fault though. That's the refs fault.

And be a damn sight quicker, too.

And be a damn sight quicker, too.But Hawkeye in Tennis is cut and dry, the ball either lands in or out. It isn't the same with football - fouls, the severity of them, the point where you measure offside etc. etc.It can never be as absolute as in tennis, but it can certainly work to benefit the game. Currently the system is not benefitting the game because the imbeciles using it, i.e. the referees, are not using it correctly. Their application is wrong either because they are inept at their jobs or because they are simply too arrogant to apply VAR as it should be. Or a mix of both.They have admitted to getting it wrong in all three Premier League games today. That isn't good enough. What's worse is that all three of them should have been easily sorted out by VAR but those in the control room have got it so wrong.The Kane one is laughable. He is shoved in the back in the penalty area and nothing given. I don't mind the on-pitch ref missing that in a crowded box but the VAR should award the spot kick every time on that.Fernandes actually steps on Konsa trying to do a fancy turn, yet wins a penalty kick. You can see in real time that he steps on Konsa and isn't fouled, yet the referee (Jon Moss, the worst official in the top flight in my opinion) and the VAR decide it's a Man Utd penalty. Poor.Ward-Prowse clearly falls over Gomes' leg anticipating contact and wins a soft penalty. I watched this live and cried out that he had clearly gone down too easily yet VAR agrees with the referee that it's a penalty. Thankfully Ward-Prowse picked himself up from the con and smacked the ball over off the crossbar. I still think Bednarek should have been sent off for DOGSO later on mind, yet the referee and VAR agreed on a yellow for that - how? It's either a foul and a red card or a good, clean tackle.I'm so glad this system isn't used at our level yet because the officials would be hopeless with it if the supposed best in the country can't even get it right.
Is it not Hawkeye they use to determine if the ball crosses the line for a goal, I’m sure Chris Wilder will be a big fan of it
I had thought the goal line tech involved sensors on the ball rather than relying on visuals from several cameras.?
