I posted what imo was a clear red card offence, and said that it was an appalling decision by the ref and that if VAR is going to ignore offences like that then I struggle to see the point of VAR.
The only one talking about conspiracies is you.
If you think a 50/50 decision is appalling then good for you.
VAR got this one right by not intervening. The player had eyes for the ball and was not trying to elbow your player. Was it reckless? Yes. There's a case to argue either way.
You would be right in saying it was a clear red if the opponent took a look at your player and deliberately connected with the elbow. I suspect VAR does step in in that scenario.
