It hasn't made the game worse for me and I'm a spectator. What did make the game worse for me was seeing a perfectly legal England goal in 2010 being disallowed against Germany. Today that goal would have counted.Because it has made the game worse. It’s made the game infinitely worse from a spectator’s point of view. And if you look at those decisions yesterday and think the final result is more fair because some guy in a gamer chair paused, slowed and rewinded the replay long enough to spot a toenail offside that gave the attacking player no advantage whatsover, and to convince himself that there was intent when a ball was blasted at an arm from one yard out, you are living in a technocratic parallel universe that should be (but evidently, sadly, isn’t) incompatible with spectator sports.
Offside is offside, a line must be drawn somewhere. We can argue about error margins and thickness of the line, that's fair. But why overcorrect and argue for abolishing VAR instead of calling for improvements?
And handball is handball. Don't blame VAR, blame the rules.
