Calls to scrap VAR over an alleged Manchester derby error

A September 14 comment alleges VAR wrongly overturned an offside decision on Haaland's Manchester derby winner, and claims refereeing officials later acknowledged a failure to assess an offside player's influence. The author says the review took almost three minutes and argues for ending VAR's role in subjective decisions, while keeping goal-line technology and, if sufficiently reliable, automated offside detection for factual calls. Another user backs scrapping VAR entirely, citing what they describe as Peter Schmeichel's demand to do so.
