VAR

The points made by Wolves, leading to the Premier League voting on the scrapping of VAR.
 
                                                                                                                                                                           
 
Hard to disagree, the first point the main one for me
it seems nearly every time I see a goal, I'm waiting for the VAR check to rule it out for some minor infringement in the build up, or the strikers toenail being offside.
 
Remember it spoiled the enjoyment of Bowen's winning goal in last season Cup win, as it wasn't obvious on first glance if he was onside? meaning I was waiting for the inevitable VAR check.
Despite European VAR being much quicker than the English version.

When it was used in the 2018 World Cup it seemed it was a really good thing, but since putting it in the hands of our referee's it has become a nightmare.
Identical incidents are now being looked at for several minutes and being judged differently according to the opinion of the ref / VAR official at the time.

I don't think they will get rid of it, but surely time to take it out of the hands of those currently responsible?
