How do they find it so difficult is my honest question.

Watching it at home with the same access to footage as VAR has the decision is 95% of the time generally a consensus with viewers and pundits but yet VAR manages to just be totally out of touch with the popular opinion and is even internally inconsistent.

Rugby Union absolutely nailed video refereeing, and despite Webb not agreeing, football has to learn whatever lessons it can from rugby. Clear, understandable, quick decisions, very high success rate, and actually benefits the drama when done right.
