I'm all for progress but I'm still yet to hear one solitary argument for why it is even needed or how it would benefit the sport, regardless of any of the negative impacts it carries with it.
After almost two centuries of matches solely featuring human participation, I honestly don't know what problem it's supposed to be solving. Aye, you get the odd car crash of a decision and it's extremely galling in the moment (and potentially enduring), but 99.9999999% of calls are justifiable, once you consider that every minutiae to a passage of play has an effect on what follows. The existing referees do an ample job of governing that and should be allowed to forever more without the aid of forensic analysis.
It's almost like VAR is some inevitable, immovable hazard which has been bestowed on the sport and we're having to come up with ways to manage it, like bad weather. As opposed to some idea which has been given the go-ahead based on risk assessment and consultation.
I honestly detest the whole thing for this and all the other reasons mentioned in this thread, and it makes me sad.
