It's not an accusation. It's clear and obvious they're not doing their job properly.
It's an accusation that the VARs aren't doing their job because they were distracted by eating.
Sticking their oar in when the referee's decision is wrong... What's wrong with that?
Where did I say I had a problem with VAR getting involved when they need to, such as in the case of a clear and obvious error?
What I have a problem with is the constant whinging about VAR regardless of what they do.
You can't complain about VAR making correct calls on encroachment at a penalty kick or close offside decsion, and then complain when they set a higher bar for VAR getting involved when there may have been a clear and obvious error.
You know what would have worked in this situation? The VAR recommending an on field review, the referee could have gone over spent maybe 30 seconds (if that) reviewing the challenge and then(hopefully) come to the correct decision
But no, people didn't want on field reviews because it ruins the flow of the game, so the EPL are doing their best to avoid them.
But now people aren't happy with that despite that being exactly what they wanted.
