Chris Foy, head of public engagement at the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), says it was a "human error" by VAR official David Coote.

Wasn't the whole point of VAR to eliminate human error?
If we wanted human error we would just ****ing keep it the way things were ffs <laugh>

Seriously though, I was a staunch advocate of VAR, because I thought that video technology would be utilised properly, as it is in Rugby, Cricket, Tennis and several other sports.
But this is just a mess, it basically is just another blokes opinion. <doh>

In Foy's interview he answered complaints about VAR slowing down the game and killing it's passion, saying "We favour accuracy over speed. it's worth taking longer if you get the decision right".

Yes Chris, the key part being the last part of your sentence "If you get the decision right"......twat. Right now its killing the pace of games, yet still ****ing up the decisions!
