Time to SCRAP VAR in the Premier League?! 😳 PL teams vote next month 👀 | ESPN FC 

Var and the referees difficulty in interpretating an incident stood out again with the referee looking at the James 'kick out' at Brighton. It was farcical seeing him have to look at it over a dozen times before making a decision .... overthinking at it's best.

Liga MX is worse

I’m guessing you’re a Madrid fan?

True. It could be a great tool, but it's been used poorly in England

Refs in England don't know how to ref

It's shitty anyway, so they might as well be shitty with the least amount of hassle, which is WITHOUT VAR.

​@@nihlifyfuck no , because with no var the refs have all the excuse to make mistakes and be corrupt

​@Abdullah-vg1uc don't you watch football? They do anyway!!! And it ruins the game in the process!!!

​@@philmusson1265 At least we will have evidence with VAR. Premier League has been outed or the Farmers league that it is and fans are angry to the right reasons

@@omarbautista541 evidence of what? Don't you watch the games? What more evidence do you need? VAR officials can have all the evidence in the world and still make the wrong decision, because football is subjective and it has a rhythm and flow to it and a bloke in a room somewhere can't feel that, only the referee on the field can, so he should be making the decisions. Right or wrong, you accept the ref's decision and play on. VAR is so much harder to accept when they get it wrong.

VAR is run by the refs

Yea too many windrush referees has rally lowered the collective IQ.

Exactly, the fact that they still blaming var is crazy

I know this, the rest of the English twats don’t😂

Corruption

Because English refs want too much power. Instead of VAR being the first and final word on things like offsides, red cards, and penalties, English refs want to be the one to decide those things.

Bias, incompetence, result fixing, what else

It worked perfectly, with minimal delay and flawlessly in Africa during this year's Nations Cup every time! Simple. But in England it's "difficult to implement". I suspect we know why 😂😂😂

@@gertigoga3912 they like influencing games with their whistle. But these same England officials who struggle with VAR in England suddenly are very capable when officiating games in Champions league and at the World Cup. They can't eat their cake and have it too.

😂 you didn’t watch AFCON

@@environm3ntalist549I did watch AFCON and what he said is 100% correct

@@environm3ntalist549 they handled well just give CAF their flowers

@@environm3ntalist549 overall they handled it well, just give CAF their flowers

​@@environm3ntalist549he's correct wym?

Yeah I've had plenty of them nosy pigs bother me for no reason

english refs

But VAR is a referee so it’s english refs. Check that incident with Lamptey against Mudryk in Brighton vs Chelsea for example. Why do you think sometimes that you should allow the referee to see the screen and other times you ignore it? Doesn’t make sense.

it"s the money

Something is better than nothing.

@@bhumikjoshi4573 i know, that's why im also not for removing it. But they seriously need to improve the decision makers, hold them accountable at least.

for example, the Doku kick on Macaliister, the Odegaard handball, the Liverpool offside call, the foul by Onana against Wolves, etc and so much more, the fans at home can see it, why do the so called "trained professionals" dont? do you automatically become blind when you join PGMOL? sorry for the rant lol

We all know Craig is a bit special anyway half the time he talks nonsense.

@@bhumikjoshi4573 That's not true at all... Everything comes at a cost and I and many others would argue the cost is too high currently for that "something." Grow a brain.

It's a betting scandal you idiots

You're having schizophrenic attacks Go take your meds

And VAR was blind and didn’t give that OBVIOUS penalty. So what is the point of VAR?

@@Rain188 The point is England has a culture of cuddling bad referees and making excuses for them without any adequate punishment if any. With no consequences for poor performance, why should we expect better calls? Rather than blame the refs & VAR officials, they point the finger at the technology. Does the video equipment operate itself?😂

If you think it's just the EPL refs, you really should watch other leagues to know better.

@@Joeeye123 EPL refs are the worst operators of VAR. I watch other leagues and other FIFA competions (WC, ANC, Euros, etc) and there is way less drama than in England.

They’ll just go back to blaming the refs on the pitch as they did for 100 years before VAR.

@@MichaelHattemexcept refs on the pitch didn’t get blamed as much because people accepted they are human

​@@environm3ntalist549 Lies. Refs were even getting death threats

The same one's they use now? Who cares?

@environm3ntalist549 🤣 var was literally introduced because no people did not accept their flaws as human beings and we will NOT go back to those days 😑

Mostly these ESPN pundits have biased opinions towards man u

This subjectivity is exactly why VAR will never work in football.

@@richardbusinge9494 it’s not just ESPN though. Most British pundits will spout the same drivel.

@@philmusson1265 my problem with VAR isn’t just the subjectivity. It’s the clear and obvious part. Take offsides for example. If we have to break out a tool to measure if a player is offside by mere millimeters he’s not offside. Var should only be used to correct obvious mistakes. If you can’t discern the difference of offside or not with the naked eye it’s not offside.

I don't know what Manchester United did to them. They always have a go at them
