Leeds United CEO Angus Kinnear has accused VAR of favouring 'geeks' over the spirit of football.
The use of technology in football continues to be a hotly-debated topic, with goals being disallowed due to the narrowest of offside calls and different interpretations of rules coming to the fore.
Southampton's Danny Ings, for example, recently had a last-minute equaliser against Aston Villa ruled offside by millimetres due to the fact his sleeve was marginally beyond defender Matty Cash's backside.
Writing in Leeds' programme ahead of Wednesday's game against Everton at Elland Road, Kinnear said he could not comment on any VAR decisions from games involving the Whites.
Yet, from a general viewpoint, Kinnear said the use of technology in incidents such as Ings' disallowed goal has changed football at its core due to aspects such as the way offsides are now interpreted and decided by marginal distances.
He said: "This column has endeavoured to avoid commenting on officiating controversy in our matches but this week, away from Leeds, we have seen more decisions which are bastardising the very foundation of the laws of the game.
"Whether it's Manchester City scoring a goal which is 20 yards offside because Tyrone Mings has the audacity to attempt to clear the ball, or Southampton's Danny Ings scoring a perfectly good equaliser, if it were adjudged by the spirit of the game, only to be denied by a geek over a 100 miles away frenetically trying to align his cross-hairs with an arse and an elbow while simultaneously demonstrating he doesn't know one from the other."
