While those in the other camp often espouse the opinion that the technology and an obsession with every call being correct has sucked a lot of the fun and emotion out of football (while still being responsible for plenty of wrong calls).

It's perhaps important to remember that there were lots of shocking miscarriages of justice in the pre-VAR era, such as this goal scored by Schalke' 04's Joël Matip back in 2013.
