People who complain about VAR should try to watch more old games. Swear every time you see one it's littered with incorrect decisions.

Flicked on Barcelona-Liverpool highlights from 2007 and the first two clips had horribly wrong calls. 1st was called offside, 2nd was onside. pic.twitter.com/BM7HBkphxs
