The Reds’ not-exactly-helpful statement on Sunday night – making noises about “sporting integrity” and “full transparency”, and promising to “explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution” – only fanned the flames of online ire. So allow Football Daily to solve everything with eight suggestions for improving VAR.
