And I suspect it will be this summer.
Whenever I lose in football manager and get the VAR question, I choose this option with the pointing emote because it gets me the most green faces
Wolves were absolutely victimised by VAR last night. It wont be scrapped though, get used to it as it’s not going away.
VAR isn’t the issue. It’s the fucking cowboys behind the monitor that’s the issue.
VAR should be removed from the referees and the PGMOL and given to a separate set of trained operators.
They have about 9 months to train up a few teams with no affiliation to the current refs. Surely they can find capable operators better than this lot. They have a perfect opportunity to select the best bits from NFL, Rugby, NHL and NBA and create the best system for the self proclaimed best league in the world.
Leaving referees to referee fellow referees will never ever work. I think VAR is a necessity but the fucking dinosaurs in charge will never utilise it correctly.
Fuck VAR shouldn’t be the tagline. It’s fuck the refs and fuck the PGMOL. Even with technology aiding them they can’t help but make a shite of everything. They’re not capable of the job and in most other industries would have been fucked out on their arse for incompetence by now.
This is the end goal of the refs that hate the added scrutiny VAR brought them. They will still be here, and they’ll still screw teams over.
