Not only that, but VAR has consistently produced some shocking and unexplainable decisions. They haven’t quite gotten the implementation correct. Offside calls are improved, dangerous tackle/red card reviews are improved (for the most part, there are still some unexplainable decisions), but handball calls are still shambolic. It’s still a human referee up there in the VAR booth and they don’t have to explain their decision making at all. That’s my opinion, at least- I mostly watch the Premier League.

> handball calls are still shambolic.
that's because handball calls are interpretation of intent and slow motion won't help you with that.
So then they changed the rules to ignore the intent and it became a valid strategy for a striker to try to shoot the ball at a defender arm for penalty.
