Exactly - a game like this, with a team going for CL and one battling relegation, this result is worth potentially tens of millions to each club, not to mention the billions probably riding on this on global betting markets. And you have decisions being made on a basis no-one really understands by people you can't see, and even if there is no corruption whatsoever it leaves it so much more open to that suspicion.

It shouldn't be interfering with that goal, it shouldn't have interfered with Gray's goal last Saturday, it should at most be interfering on very narrow and strictly defined grounds, where a decision is objectively wrong, or where the referee himself asks for the assistance. It was supposed to help matches but right now it feels like it's controlling them.

I agree. I was in favour of its introduction because I wanted to see an end to travesties like Geoff Hurst's second "goal" in the 1966 World Cup final, or Frank Lampard's ghost goal not standing in 2010. But now it is a tool of narrative control subject to the big club/big country bias that all other refereeing decisions were and are.
