Just turn it off, 2 weeks ago liverpool played Arsenal in the carabao cup. 5-5 had everything except VAR. there was an offside goal and good penalty shouts but without VAR they just got on with it .

If everyone who doesn’t like VAR boycotted any game with VAR they’d get rid of it.

Not if the TV companies around the world are still willing to pay for the rights they wouldn’t.

Not wanting to particularly put on a tinfoil hat here, but could it be possible that the referees are deliberately refusing to check the monitors at the ground for contentious offside/penalty decisions in an attempt to get the system booted out or perhaps changed?
From the brief bits of MOTD I've seen, the TV commentators seem to be berating them for never looking at the monitors in these cases so I do wonder if some of them have agreed amongst themselves that this should be the way to proceed?
Can't say I would blame them if this is the case as it's a shockingly bad implementation of the technology as it stands. As I've said in the past, there should be an "Umpire's Call" situation for decisions which aren't especially obviously incorrect, especially when it comes to offsides.
if they dont check the monitors themselves they have a lifeline of being able to say "in the moment i saw this and therefore did that" when VAR overrules they can hide behind "nothing to do with me, not my decision" . If they look at monitors they will have to make a decision which could be the opposite of what they were adamant had happened and make themselves look inadequate. Let the invisible man take the blame, easier for them.

It is not very fair to referees though is it? Imagine any other line of work were all your subjective decisions, made in often hostile environments at an incredibly fast moving pace, was subject to immediate scrutiny. I don't know why the refs association don't wash their hands of the whole thing and refuse to co-operate.

If people don’t watch it they won’t.

Son's red card has been overturned, can't say I'm not surprised, right decision for me.

Sheff Utd just had a goal disallowed for a lad being offside by 0.27mm about 37 minutes before the ball went in. At least the decision only took about an hour to make though.

I said prior to the season starting that although VAR may be correct, eventually,it will result in fewer goals being scored or allowed. VAR is disallowing goals that last season would have been allowed.

Interesting that it was in different phase of play too. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EI8cWz1WoAM2itu?format=jpg&name=smallAnyway another totally correct decision & well done VAR.
