VAR is to stop referees looking stupid or being criticised about most of the crucial decisions on MOTD or $ky. VAR is an officials-protecting system. It has nothing to do with getting all decisions right for managers, players or fans.

Just as the EFL after-match video reviews and retrospective ban for fooling refs into giving incorrect red cards or cheating refs into giving incorrect penalties was all about stopping referees being made to look fools on the pitch.
