Would you let the goal stand?

Nah not really, often those two things are in direct conflict of each other.

The way I see it VAR can (and likely has) be used as a tool to allow more corruption into the sport, by giving people time to decide whether to intervene or not, to officiate in whichever way, gives the outcome they want the highest likelihood to happen, I cannot be pro VAR for this reason alone.

Then you add in the fact goals are scored and people aren't celebrating, taking joy and excitement out of the sport cannot be a good thing.
