The same officials operate VAR as referee in the top tier so the bias is the same.

As an advocate for the introduction to VAR, I thought it would lead to proving the bias doesn't exist by fixing those kinds of errors or highlighting that it does exist and eradicating it very quickly.
It's failed.

They are going to get stitched by VAR and it's going to be hilarious.

that would be the best possible outcome
I'd quite like it if they were made to play the second leg of their playoff game during a freak storm, and the wind blew the ball into the Forest net for the winner.

Solving a problem that was never there before VAR. At least it could resolve the timing issues.

Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters has confirmed that recordings of audio between Video Assistant Referee (VAR) officials and referees will be made available to fans after matches.
There has been a call for more transparency in the way decisions are made, even before the introduction of VAR, among fans, with some calls for the referees to be mic'd up in order for fans to hear the conversations. Football’s lawmakers don’t allow live broadcasts of the audio, but it has confirmed that recordings could be released after the full-time whistle.

This could actually be good. Both for the teams and fans but also, the media will love it and being able to scrutinise it we may well see a bit of change if common sense seems to be lacking with particular “laws”.
