I think a lot of the problem with VAR is Mike Riley.
Mike Riley was a fussy, over-officious, and robotic referee and with him being in charge of the PGMOL and VAR (I know Swarbrick oversees VAR but he is going to be directed by Riley) we are going to continue to get fussy, over-officious and robotic decisions being made. Time for someone to come in who displays some common sense in my opinion.
If I was as poor in my job as Mike Riley is in his then I would expect to be sacked, so why have the powers at be not got rid of him yet?
