The FA really should be sued or brought to account as the clubs have entered a competition in which the games are no longer played on an even footing..that surely must be grounds for a legal challenge ?

What a poor, misguided intro to the footy world this is getting. On top of our own annoying VAR intervention recently and various others, the Everton/Millwall game will add more pressure onto it's proposed usage, surely? Millwall basically equalised, and went on to win the game with a clear handball incident leading to their 2nd goal. Play the game at Premier Everton and VAR correctly intervenes. But it's played at non-Premier Millwall and thus not an option. Farcical, a great idea ruined by the usual poor implementation from the authorities.
No different to other sports. VAR is only installed on the show courts at the bigger tournaments. Players on the smaller courts even at places like Wimbledon cannot appeal.

By and large the decisions overruled in tennis are just line calls and such, the equivalent of the ball over the line in football that mostly brought about VAR. Borderline red card challenges, handballs etc in football add up to a lot more for officials to rule over than a ball basically ping pong-ing to and fro. The game's getting more pressured, more at stake and more complicated and it needs officiating to a better, fairer standard. VAR could make it better, but using it at ALL FA Cup games is what would make it fairer.

VAR is male masturbation. It’s there for telly and the big teams to reduce the financial jeopardy . Telly is there to witness the game, not influence it.

There might be, but quantifying damages would be next to impossible as no one can show that they would have remained in the competition with a different scenario (VAR or no VAR). The current situation is like playing the game with no linesmen in some games and with in others. The FA was more fit for purpose when it was dominated by fuddy-duddy 'blazers' rather than incompetent 'innovators'.

Its stupid, keep VAR for the premier league where decisions mean multimillions depending on european places or relegations, fair enough have at it but keep the fa cup for the fans

They haven't been for a few years, since whenever goal line technology was brought in.
