I believe this anti-VAR narrative is coming from groups interested in a return to the days of rampant bullshit decisions, and you can all speculate as to why that would be something that anyone would be want.

The fact is that we get more decisions right because of VAR, and should be working to improve the process in order to lessen the negative impacts it is having, which are still better than the negative impacts that wrong decisions have on the sport.

As opposed to rampant bullshit decisions made with the help of multiple views, at least with no VAR there is an excuse, but take the Everton United game, clear cut penalty was given by VAR the ref gave a dive… that’s correct, but it’s been giving penalties for absolute nonsense as well
