I understand the reactive behaviour is an issue today - I don't mind the booing etc but the blatant ref/lino abuse is OTT but yer that expecting a massive cultural change that I feel difficult to happen.
Mind you VAR hasn't changed that behaviour much in any case.
I'm in the what goes around comes around - not every time but karma does/has happened.

The officials still cop it on the field - the VAR fellas are lucky locked up in the nose bleed stands in safety, plus I suspect seco's are nearby as well.

Do you really think ref's make the final decisions these days? lol.

Generally speaking going back to the pre VAR days league wise yes, at modern days world cups I don't know what to believe any more.
I'd like to believe for the best but yer today is such a shonky world money talks.
 
The issue with placing so much reliance on technology is that you can get both false positives and false negatives. You also have to factor in the ingrained bias and how certain teams always seem to get a disproportionate amount of favourable calls. That's why you end up with situations where VAR takes 5 minutes on some granular issue while Messi goes studs up on someone's calf and VAR does not dare to intervene.

If we are looking at the slightest touch, that touched a hair based on some sensor. Which no one has been able to show on a camera.

Come on man. That's not clear and obvious.

The goal in the 113/114 min - you do realise Portugal scored in 94, by the time it restarts it easily 3-4 mins and all the checks that are done.

Not sure what game you play but 3-4 mins added on for a goal, so if you score 5 goals in 2nd half, you play 15-20 mins more, na dont think so.
Its 90 seconds tops.
