You can't but you is such a thing with refs beng consistent on a game to game basis, even during the match they make decisions that contradict each other.

Our supposed best referee Michael Oliver has been guilty of it many times.

Feels like this league referees ref matches based on feeling and narratives as opposed to calling things down the line, case in point the pen Coventry just got agaisnt Utd, was never a pen but it felt like VAR gave it to them based on feeling and them playing their part in an underdog story.

I hate VAR, I never wanted it and I still don't want it but we have it and it should be there to help refs, specifically have them use it, request it and go to the monitor to help them make a decision. Let them have control.

As it is VAR is just too passive, it undermines the ref, lacks authority and removes the authority of the ref., no one wins and it fosters a vibe of incompetence.

The media is to blame for where we are, creating controversy where there is non, but this is where the focus is, every year getting worse and worse, then accelerating beyond recognition when combined with social media.
