In my opinion VAR is not the problem. The referees are the problem. All VAR does is give the referee another chance to get to the correct decision. If the referee makes another wrong decision then surely the referee is at fault.


Baldrick ! The only impression you can do is that of a man with no talent !!

As the previous post says the authorities have ruined the game, and for what?

We still get contenious decisions, we still have managers complaining and we are still no nearer in finding a way to ensure every decision is correct -  because there isn't one.

Even if you could get every decision right just before a goal or non goal, managers will now say but what about the "foul" on the halfway line that wasnt given? Ifs buts and maybes happen all the time, but that is what makes the game such a wonderful spectacle.

Once you start getting VAR involved in everything you are on a slippery slope to nowhere; referees see the game in real time and to keep playing ultra slow motion replays of whether a ball brushed the arm of a defender who didnt do it on purpose is bordering on the insane.

I don't know why the managers, players and clubs just don't say "sorry, we are not putting up with this farce any longer" and refuse to play. The power ultimately resides in the clubs, or if they wont take action then fans need to stop going to games when allowed or perhaps more importantly from a financial aspect cancel their Sky sports packages.

I get the impression that football knows it has made a big mistake, but daren't admit it. For the good of the game do something about it.


The clubs did not oppose it at all & fully endorsed the updated rules for this season:

Premier League clubs have approved the use of Video Assistant Referees next season in line with FIFA protocols.

During the Premier League's Annual General Meeting on Thursday, Shareholders agreed to rules relating to VAR and substitute players ahead of the new season 2020/21. There will be increased use of the Referee Review Area(pitchside monitors) which will be used for subjective decisions on goals, red cards, and penalty kicks.

"At the Premier League’s Annual General Meeting today, Shareholders agreed to rules relating to VAR and substitute players for the 2020/21 season," a statement from the Premier League read.

"Shareholders unanimously approved the implementation of VAR, in line with the full FIFA VAR protocol. Clubs also agreed to revert back to using up to three substitute players per match, with a maximum of seven substitutes on the bench."


Refusing to play?
We already know that fans are irrelevant in any decisions-managers will complain but that'll be about it.

Quoted from golfer


We could have a panel of ex pro. footballers to decide if the referees decision was the correct one while the players  have a nice cup of tea.


We could call it 'Match of the Day'. Put it on telly on a Saturday night. Loads of people would watch that.
