David Orsntein is incorrect. Goal Line technology was around before VAR. It's linked to the refs watch which buzzes when the ball crosses the line. He's for some reason scaremongering here.

It's not the technology. It is the referees who are still sub par. Also the players simulate all the time and everyone knows it and call it the dark arts. We've all seen it and it happens to all clubs.

Everyone is missing the point. I hate VAR with a passion, but it's not because of any errors. It destroys the match going experience, people are really considering giving up their season tickets because VAR has literally attacked the very essence of the game - spontaneous joy, a quick look at the linesman, then absolute limbs. This is what TV fans are missing, it goes right to reason why the 'product' has been successful.

If it was put to a fan or player vote then VAR would go but there is no reason why the goal line and offside technology cannot be used WITHOUT the VAR analysis at Shockley park. Why should using or not using VAR affect the clubs in europe? Are you saying that teams play differently if there is VAR?

It’s good in theory, but we’ve all see Dermot Gallagher on Skysports and his mates in VAR would be no different. They don’t feel they have to explain anything to us fans. They make the decision and we just have to accept it. How many times this season alone have we seen a penalty in one game then no penalty for the exact same thing? Only for Gallagher to tell us on Monday that “it’s all subjective”

No VAR means Haaland, Isak and if Oshimen makes it prem, they'd haunt defenses

Why is no one addressing the elephant in the room? If you get rid of "official" VAR, you're left with "unofficial" VAR: Broadcasters will replay every close or questionable action from various angles, use slow motion and stop motion, and pundits will still rail about the injustice of all of those missed calls. Except without VAR, the refs won't be able to rectify anything. The controversies and the supposed unfairness will still happen, and the video evidence will still be shown after the fact. But no one will be able to do anything about it but complain. Wanna get rid of VAR? Stop allowing broadcasters access to multiple slow-mo replays. It's that technology and the post-match post-mortems that made VAR a necessary evil. Scrapping it won't do anything but make it worse for everyone. Wanna ref it in real time only? Broadcast it in real time only, just like the viewers are experiencing it at the match.

Having watched many European games this season and seen how the refereeing and VAR decisions and the speed of the decisions rates compared to this seasons premier league the conclusion is an obvious one THE ENGLISH REFEREES AND VAR OPERATORS ARE SIMPLY SUB STANDARD and when people like Mike Dean admits to deliberately ignoring an error Highlighted by VAR or Lee Dixon admits to forgetting to draw the offside lines in an important game THEN THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF ! ITS NOT VAR IT IS THE PEOPLE OPERATING IT THAT NEEDS TO GO !!!

How about put it to the fans, we never wanted it, never asked for it but despite it ruining the game we are forced to have it, get rid

Keep var, but give accountability to those who screw up on it

The problem is not var, it’s the incompetent people operating it. But if you want to scrap it, at least implement automated offside technology and give the option to the referee to look at the screen for the difficult decisions if he’s not sure.

People will remember the VAR as soon as your team loses to an offside goal😂😂😂

The problem is the same on the field or with VAR. You need to hold the referees accountable for their crappy decisions. Put in a system for relegating the bottom referees and cut their pay.

Don't scrap it, change it. Let the Ref run the game, make VAR a tool for managers to call for a review if they know a clear error has been made. To stop it being abused allow them no more than 3 calls a game and if they regularly make calls that are clearly just time wasting then they lose their right to call for VAR reviews the following week.

The problem isn’t VAR. It’s the delay

The premier league isn't exactly a spectacle if the three clubs that get promoted go straight back down and the same team wins it every year. This season isn't even over and you already know city are going to win next year. I think VAR should go, its just not fit for purpose at this moment in time, and likely isnt going to improve greatly for another 2/3 years at least in the premier league. Not only that but the longer delays and extra minutes might have a link to the amount of injuries across the league.

Put AI in charge of VAR, decisions can be resolved before the on field ref has a doubt.

VAR has exposed the bias, it’s there for all to see. Keep it and the SkyBet Premier League and PGMOL can either seal their own fate or clean their act up. All clubs below the top six get a rough deal, some worse than others. It really has been appalling.

Finally, someone said it. The real problem is the incompetent referees and not the technology. How blind can they be to see that?

With the money that football moves today, any help that reduces the risk of wrong refereeing decisions should be welcomed. There will always be criticism from those who feel harmed if the VAR decisions are not favorable to their interests. But, if these decisions are based on videos, they are impossible to refute. What these "affected" clubs have to do is accept these decisions and reinforce the lines of play where the rival has found errors, so that they do not occur again, and not "cry" like children when they throw a tantrum so that they take heed.

It is not just VAR but the rules could be changed . Maybe there should be clear distance between players before giving off side not just because one has a longer arm too many goals ruled out . the main problem is so many times the game is delayed Also we have to keep in step with at least EUFA ,dont want another Brexit please

I bet if VAR is scrapped Man City won't win the title next year. Don't look at stats about VAR decisions. See when the decisions are taken and whether it happens at crucial moments in the game and how it affects league positions.

Scrap it, it's destroying football.

VAR is the best thing to come into football since its inception, I can't believe that some fans and clubs want to go back to the idea that no technology is used and everything is decided by the on field referee and the linesman. VAR is not the problem is the human element behind it, the video evidence is there its just the bad decisions made by the individuals that's the problem. These fans want to go back to a system where you could leave the match knowing that the referee and linesman made a mistake and a goal was given, or not given, an offside that was or wasn't , a penalty that was or wasn't given, a bad tackle or an off the ball the incident or plain cheating and diving. What will happen the likes of SKY or TNT will be showing video evidence immediately and all the fans in the ground will see it on there phones, fans at home or in the pub will be watching and will spend the game and after knowing they lost because of incorrect decisions which with VAR it would have been seen. All this nonsense about its taking passion and enjoyment out of the game, trust me all those fans and clubs that want it banned, if your club loses a match or misses out on the title by a point, or the top 4, or getting relegated by a point knowing its because of bad decisions made by the officials on the pitch, they will be the first to complain and beg for VAR to come back, guaranteed. The referees and linesman will encounter more abuse and at some point referees will become very short on numbers as no one wants to be put in the position, not to mention some idiot will probably assault an official and that will cause matches to be played behind closed doors.

Sky, you seem like you're pandering to the PGMOL and the Premier League in their decisions, though they are often incorrect. Goal line technology was before VAR. Did you start watching the game in 2020? Did you hit your head or something? The problem with VAR is the people running it. The referees in the Premier League are the worst in the game. VAR works more efficiently in other leagues because the referees running it know how to call an unbiased game. Wolves are absolutely correct on goals. As a fan, when somebody scores, I can cheer or sulk because I am like will it be a goal or not? It takes away from the game. The game is being reffed twice. This leads to a ridiculous amount of extra time at the end. If we had better people, who knew the game, running it, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
