That's one in the eye for all those naysayers who said the European Court meddled too much in things that didn't concern it.

Maybe future VAR decisions should be delegated to the European Court of Justice. It couldn't do much worse.

What this means for the future of the game is anybody's guess, but I wouldn't bet against some sort of loophole being found. People might shrug their shoulders when they're told to use grammes rather than ounces at the greengrocers, but they won't be so placid if their football club is thrown into chaos.
