I know Dermot Gallagher is just a mouthpiece who flip flops and tries to cover for the mistakes made by VAR and refs but this weeks piece for sky sports is a joke.
DERMOT SAYS: "When you see it in real-time, you think it's a penalty all day long. When you see it slowed down, it's totally different.
"But is this what we want to do, forensically diagnose every decision in slow motion? I'm not sure supporters do. ”
That’s literally what VAR does for every decision isn’t it? Offside calls are judged by the millimetre, red cards are looked at through every angle, penalties etc. They’re all judged by slow motion. These incidents can take up to 5-6mins to review in some cases.
When referees are sent to the monitor to review decisions, the incidents are always played in slo-mo.
They need to own up to their mistakes. They need to completely review the way VAR is handled. It’s a complete failure in its current iteration imo.

In my opinion VAR should just be foe offsides and goal one decisions.
Generally it sucks the life out of a game and destroys joy and atmosphere.
