If you go looking for supporters of VAR in the Premier League these days, chances are you may be searching for a while.
The introduction of video assistant referees was meant to usher in a new era for football, supposedly free from incorrect decisions deciding games, trophies, and, in some cases, managers' jobs.
But the technology has left fans and managers deeply frustrated, with a number of marginal offside calls in recent weeks drawing particular ire.
And there was another controversial (though ultimately correct) call in Aston Villa's game at Burnley on New Year's Day.
Jack Grealish thought he had put Villa ahead after 12 minutes - but following a VAR review, referee Michael Oliver overturned the goal due to Wesley being offside in the build-up.
BT Sport published a photo of the VAR review, which shows the back of Wesley's heel playing the forward offside - but Villa fans and neutrals alike were distinctly unimpressed - including Rio Ferdinand.
The general secretary of the law-making International Football Association Board (IFAB), Lukas Brud, recently suggested that VAR was being used incorrectly in the Premier League, and should only be used to reverse "clear and obvious" mistakes.
Brud did not address the decisions taken in the Premier League specifically but said officials on the pitch and monitoring cameras should not become "too forensic" over offsides or any other decisions.
He said the IFAB will reissue guidance on best practice regarding VAR to competitions which use it, probably after its annual general meeting at the end of February next year, which will cover all areas that VARs look at and include information on offsides.
"Clear and obvious still remains - it's an important principle. There should not be a lot of time spent to find something marginal," Brud told the PA news agency.
"If you spend multiple minutes trying to identify whether it is offside or not, then it's not clear and obvious and the original decision should stand," he said.

"What we really need to stress is that clear and obvious applies to every single situation that is being reviewed by the VAR or the referee.
"In theory one millimetre offside is offside, but if a decision is taken that a player is not offside and the VAR is trying to identify through looking at five, six, seven, 10, 12 cameras whether or not it was offside, then the original decision should stand."
