A debate is currently occurring about if it would be better to scrap VAR now of risk people turning off the sport due to time delays and bizarre decisions VAR Is making.

    I believe this anti-VAR narrative is coming from groups interested in a return to the days of rampant bullshit decisions, and you can all speculate as to why that would be something that anyone would be want.

    The fact is that we get more decisions right because of VAR, and should be working to improve the process in order to lessen the negative impacts it is having, which are still better than the negative impacts that wrong decisions have on the sport.

      It’s coming from people who have watched football for 2 years which is 99% of the posters on this subreddit.

    Yes, I think it has obviously becoming a worse product, the game is less enjoyable to watch.

    I don’t think there is anything else to discuss is there?

    The fact that more decisions are correct is great objectively, but subjectively we have learned that we cannot celebrate goals for 2-3 minutes, and there is no way to implement VAR in a manner that does not destroy that emotion of the game.

    I’ve started to don my tin foil hat and wonder if there is some kind of agenda to get certain results. There are too many wrong decisions that EVERYONE else can clearly see differently.

    I hate VAR, if we remove it we could sympathize with bad calls due to human error again.

    Im sorry, now we have this , we can see the post game is more about lines, camera angles and the fine msrgins of the rules.

    Use Var for off the ball issues and move on.

    Dome fresh faces in the PGMOL would do wonders.

    Why are there no female refs?

    Yes. I watch fewer games as a neutral bc I am too frustrated by VAR. I now only watch Arsenal and maybe another game that has a big affect on the top 4. I’d watch more if I wasn’t frustrated with the league so much.

    It’s not var that bothers me it’s how it only usually gets spoken about when it’s involving the bigger clubs it’s making a divide in this sport and highlighting major issues with the media that’s been the same for years
