"a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result."I'm not sure you know what irony means.
For example, people wanting to abolish VAR when it would in fact make the 'offside' decision even more offside, considering it wasn't VAR that disallowed the goal.
Not sure I need to remind you of all of the VAR mistakes you've actually benefitted from (like a keeper wiping out two attackers flapping at thin air). That is far less subjective than the ever-morphing handball rule, where in one CL final Sissoko's armpit is handball (imagine if Liverpool were on the other side of that), or the one where they changed the handball rule when Dier had a penalty against him versus Newcastle, or the disallowed goal versus Sheffield United, where Moura was penalised for handball when they kicked the ball at his arm when he was on the ground.Since you're on a Utd forum, I'm not sure you need to be reminded, but you robbed Utd of points with that nonsense decision when Romero handled it against Utd.
Fact is, as bad as VAR can be, it's not as bad as the game was without it (Pedro Mendes, or the Nani goal versus Gomes), but it's absolutely ironic that people are talking about getting rid of VAR because it didn't correct the linesman's on-field decision.
