The main issue with this is that it's the *exact* same mistake twice in a week. There are no learnings, no improvement, and no changes. They tie themselves in knots to support on-field decisions at the cost of making the wrong decision. All it does is take away what little trust and respect the referees had before.
I want VAR to work because it has the potential for good in the game. As it is, the implementation has meant no one has a clue what the handball rule is, and the only consistency is that VAR gets something glaringly wrong every single week.
Something has to change, and soon.
