Not in the least bit surprising. Plenty more errors this past weekend as well. I don't mind VAR but they've clearly got a long long way to go. My personal opinion is that the 'clear and obvious error' and 'not wanting to re-referee the game' party lines are making the job that much harder for the referees. If we look at every other sport, a challenge system is clearly the best format. - Take the accountability off the VAR and onto the players/ managers challenging - Allow the ref to review the footage in a way they might not have seen before, make a decision, move on That way not every single decision will be reviewed and the accountability for mistakes will be on players/ managers incorrectly challenging.
