They have the goal line technology for the Lampard scenario (not VAR). That
was all that was required. The rest has become a hot mess.

I’m not a fan of VAR. I always thought it a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
English commentariat got itself all excited after Lampard’s ‘goal’ against
Germany and demanded ‘something be done’. But across a season decisions evened
out, pre-VAR...now we’ve actually legislated ‘in’ interference.
They’re having to create a raft of secondary rules about when it is used and
when not.
A system that doesn’t penalise Everton’s keeper for that wild foul, but
disallows Bamford’s goal is not fit for purpose.
