Tell us something we don't know.

No, we get sympathies and apologies.

It would be good to see the list of those 18 errors and who the error was in favour of.

VAR should be scrapped as it is just a tool used to ensure that the interests of the big clubs are looked after by the corrupt establishment at the expense of clubs like Fulham and Wolves.
Even a recluse living in a cave on Mars can see that.

We have so far played three matches in the league. Twice VAR have tried to change the outcome of the result. Successfully managing it against Chelsea. So one hopes VAR will allow the next match to play out fairly. But let's be honest here. It is clear that Fulham will have every excuse not to be confident in the decisions they do or do not get.

Three matches in. Wouldn't it be nice on the fourth one to have the result determined by what goes on on the pitch and not in the VAR office.

Don't think this will eliminate 'unconscious bias' but I'd like to see the current VAR set-up removed, leaving just the offside line technology and goal line available to the referee

To me, it ism a simple case of "has VAR made the game better?". The answer is a resounding NO!
