VAR cocks it up yet again. What a breath of fresh air if is in the Championship with no VAR. Does the VAR facility add anything to the sport, or is it detrimental with all the delays and discussions? Personally, I think it's ruining the game.

So many fans are saying the same thing

My lads support Chelsea and Varsenal and they are saying the same. Surely it has to be time to take a step back and either get rid or change the people overseeing.

What I think is also good is that we see goals given or disallowed now and there's no great reaction from the crowd to what may have been the incorrect decision, but it's just human error with a difficult decision.
Not clear and obvious which is what VAR should have been in the first place.

It's just another thing that has been forced on us. I see they are introducing food like lentils and chickpeas into school dinner menus, whilst banning such desserts as cake and pudding. Apart from the fact that, in my day, gipsy tart, spotted dick, syrup sponge, etc, were the highlights of school dinners, afternoons in the classrooms will be chaos with laughter over the raucous farting! Can you imagine it? Once introduced, these things are difficult to reverse.

I can't see VAR being shelved now and there is little that can be done to satisfactorily revise it. I'm afraid we're stuck with it and I can only see it being expanded.

Problem is that its not VAR, its how its being interpreted

Those overseeing have no clue or consistency and as weve seen, these bad decisions can end up costing clubs millions and premier league status

As Carrick said "its worrying the state of the game if thats how they are officiating the game"

I for one refuse to watch premier league football and find footie more enjoyable in the championship. How many. of our goals on Friday would've been ruled out because a toenail or strand of hair was offside? Its ridiculous.

But generally, wasn't the game more enjoyable before VAR?

Mac3, bang on with your post, I now likewise do not watch PL games, probably mainly because we are not in it in all honesty, unless it's a team I like in the PL which only amount to 2. ? My Daughters love the Championship! ⚒⚒⚒⚒COYI.
