VAR is just terrible full stop.

It doesn't 'correct' anywhere near enough 'howlers' (whether this is because they are less prevalent in a VAR system I don't know) to offset the harm it does with all the armpit offsides and brushed the hand disallowed goals (although that's not specifically VAR's fault). Add in the fact that it is just getting things objectively wrong quite often now I'm not sure really what it is bringing to the game.
