To be honest it's not even VAR that's the problem, it's the complete morons we have running it.
How anyone whether a casual viewer or a seasoned ref of 20 years can look at the Sterling image and go 'yeah that's a clear and obvious error, how has the linesman given that goal, you must disallow it'
Just leave the final decision to the ref and only over rule if it's a glaring mistake. The game will be much better for it.
Clear and obvious does not apply to offside decisions.
That is onside all day long and has nothing to do with the fact that Sterling is in my dream team.
Person who made that decision should be asked to provide an explanation as they either have a hidden agenda or are cheating.
No-one made a decision on the offside call.
As above, offside has nothing to do with clear and obvious. It's either offside or it's not, there is no decision to be made other than "do I want to ignore that it's offside or not?"
Sorry guys but I'm going to trust the super-computers here over the naked eye...
Another problem that’s manifested itself is some refs seem to have the thought of “oh, that was a tough decision, I won’t give it and if it’s wrong VAR will correct it anyway” then VAR don’t want to be seen to overrule the ref too often and so the decision is ignored.
like a vicious circle where nobody wants to actually take charge of the game
As unlikely as it is I have just realised that despite a strong start to the season Palace could be 4th bottom and 2 points from relegation after the next round of games. Wouldn’t that be good!

Palace being rock bottom with a 30 point reduction for being diving pricks with a bunch of helmet fans would be even better.

And it was at Stamford Bridge
Clear handball by a Southampton player in the build up to the goal that made it 1-1, but the goal still stood.
I am so confused, did VAR not see the clear handball, as other goals have been chalked off if a hand is used it the buildup
