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

VAR has never been the problem.

The problem is that referees are not consistent enough with decisions, in part due to bodies like UEFA, the FA, IFAB, etc constantly tinkering with the guidelines of what is/isn't offside, handball, etc
