Mixed feelings on that VAR ****. I felt it worked

Not when players can "officially" appeal, it isn't; they are very often convinced before deciding a failed challenge could cost them.

Just leave the whole business to the officials, imo, with video too. Far more seemly.

Again, players bear no responsibility for the right decision being made. They are, by definition, wholly biased and are only interested in getting what they can.

A referee has no allegiance other than to the truth. To stick to your decision when you are clearly wrong is the act of a ****

Sorry, no. It is not a crime to be wrong. But if people genuinely want to believe that officials get decisions wrong deliberately, maliciously, then everyone may as well go home as there's nothing to be done for them, with or without video.
