VAR and Referees. Stupid decisions (alien.top)

Football is finished! I love watching football, it’s my passion (as well as playing but age means I can’t as much nowadays). I watch about 7/8 games at the weekend, mostly premier league but also LaLiga, Serie A and Bundesliga. Then during the week I watch the European cup and Europa league. But the refs and the ridiculous rules are ruining the game. Last night in the Fulham game and tonight watching Newcastle vs PSG the refs and VAR have given the stupidest penalty decisions. I’m really starting to lose my love for the game. I don’t care who won or drew the game but the integrity of the game has gone. I hate it and it’s just been getting worse season after season. This is probably more of a rant but I just feel let down by the game I love to watch

And this was the World Cup final referee Marciniak who actually double checked the handball situation in slow motion repeatedly... and he still gave the penalty.

I mean, it was a text book example of a close distance deflection from his body up to his arm in a natural position. Next game they will change the rules again depending on which oil team has the most money or something.

Someone on soccer subreddit pointed that it's clearly a decision from UEFA to whistle these hands, with as exemple the man utd game last week
