I was pro VAR when it first came in.
But now I see a lot of problems with it. It seems that every goal is reviewed, whether it is a clear and obvious error or not.
These penalty re-takes are a big negative for me. If the player misses the goal first time round, it shouldn't matter where the goalie's feet were. It's a miss. Only if they save it should it be reviewed.
And don't get me started on the handballs in the box. The making your body bigger by using arms scenario is becoming insane. If a defender jumps with his back to the ball and his arms are out then fair enough. But when it hits his chest or knee and bounces onto the arm then that is clearly not a pen. They are now being given for almost any scenario where it touches the arm. We are now starting to see lots of defenders running and defending unnaturally by having their arms behind their back. Crazy.
