    Maybe they should fix the way refereeing works then. It’s not like the rules were written by Jesus or something.

      I see you’ve never heard of FIFA. Lucky bastard. I’m paraphrasing, but Sepp Blatter said something like “it’s a human game, mistakes must happen”

      Not to mention the utter hate from football fans of objective rule enforcement like VAR. Add them and you have a perfect storm of people not wanting to fix a problem blended with a governing body that is conservative to a fault.

      They’re trying to modify certain portions of the rules and modernize them but each league implements them differently and at the end of the day the refs are treated as unquestionable and untouchable even when they say they made mistakes despite tech and camera angles given to them. Which is fine but there needs to be more things like video assistants saying that was a dive give a yellow but they don’t do that still.
