I understand that VAR is meant to correct certain major mistakes, but the phrase “clear and obvious error” seems subjective when two replay angles make the same incident look different. In some matches, the referee is sent to the monitor; in others, the VAR decision stands without an on-field review.
How is that threshold applied in practice? I’m especially curious about close offside calls and penalty decisions, where a small detail can change the outcome. Is the clear and obvious error standard defined the same way across all reviewable incidents?
