VAR was brought in to help officials who make a clear and obvious error. They are human, it happens.
Now every single kick, corner & throw in is being scrutinised by officials that sit miles away in a van who won't stitch their work colleagues up.
The majority of fans loathe VAR

Gary Speed, fine player and even finer human being, passed away 14 years ago today. On Saturday, Everton unveil the Gary Speed Memorial Bench at Hill Dickinson Stadium before the game with Newcastle United, who he also represented with such distinction. The bench bears the message: “IN MEMORY OF GARY SPEED, EVERTONIAN, CAPTAIN, LEADER 1969–2011. A place for what is often unspoken. A place to sit, share and listen.”
The “talking bench” is one of a series introduced across the UK. In the words of @Everton, it’s “a simple but powerful way to encourage conversation, tackle loneliness and isolation, and signpost people to mental health support”. Via a QR code to programmes delivered by Everton In The Community.
“As part of the Club’s commitment to the Premier League’s ‘Together Against Suicide’ pilot, trained @EITC staff will be based in the area around the bench before every home fixture. Supporters who wish to talk, seek support, or learn more about the services available will be able to approach staff confidentially and without appointment”.
The bench, which has the full blessing of Speed’s family, was proposed by @EFC_FansForum as “a meaningful and positive legacy in Gary’s name”. Everton add that it's "a permanent space for reflection, conversation and connection - and a reminder that no Evertonian ever has to struggle alone". #EFC

As we enjoy our shiny new home on the waterfront today, it’s worth taking a moment to remember the many Evertonians who fought the Kirkby move, specifically those involved in Keep Everton In Our City. Rather than BMD, we could’ve been playing in this…
🚨 Water privatisation is failing firefighters and the public
The FBU is backing calls for public ownership of water. Firefighters need clean, high-pressure water to keep the public safe.
Never forget the power of a united fan-base. The Destination Kirkby debacle would have killed off our great club.
Personally, i thank each and every one of you who came on the @keioc journey with us. Without winning that battle BMD would never have happened
