Quote: nantwichexile "In my opinion the VR is a waste of time. Far from resolving controversial decisions it has heightened them. Until you get objective rather than subjective decisions made by infallible human beings (impossible) then what's the point?'"
We had an entirely objective obstruction rule, which was entirely reliant on where the player with the ball went in comparison to team-mates in front of him.
The chimps in the Sky commentary box complained about it. Fans who don't understand the game complained about it. Coaches complained about it, whenever it didn't work in their favour.
As a result, it got changed back to an interpretation entirely reliant on the referee making a subjective judgement. Sometimes as a sport we don't half shoot ourselves in the foot.
