Both are an utter and fudging joke

Even Dermot Gallagher thought Bournemouth’s goal should’ve stood.

Athletic reporting that there will be a vote next month amongst the clubs to get rid of it. Didn't see that coming.

Personally, I'd keep it for the automated offsides and that would be it. If it's a choice between all or nothing, I'd go with nothing and I was a strong advocate for its introduction.

That could be the greatest day in the history of the EPL. Imagine getting passion back in football!

VAR: Premier League clubs to vote on whether to scrap video assistant referees

Premier League clubs will vote on whether to scrap video assistant referees (VAR) from next season at their annual general meeting next month.

I really hope that we scrap it as its been a fudge up since day one, sadly i doubt they will as there is a lot of money being made by those who back it. its a joke and for the actual fans who go to the games it has been a nightmare. We live in hope though.

I still think VAR could be a useful tool, I just no longer have my trust in them to fix it, or know what they are doing with it. We are getting dodgy calls with or without var anyway.

They can’t go back now, what kind of message would that send.

VAR is crucial to the future of football, we can’t have officiating mistakes.

I know it’s not perfect yet. But perfect is the minimum acceptable level.

Goal line tech is fine, scrap the rest.

Offside is an objective thing too so I’d be alright with that if it’s the semi automated version that gets us a decsion quickly. I know it can be frustrating when you have a decision go against you by the width of someone’s toe but I’d rather that I think. The rest I could live without.

If VAR is scrapped, will Sky/BT replaying every incident to the nth degree also be scrapped? Of course it won't.
We don't need to get rid of VAR, we need to make it work better.

This is such an important point.

Maybe a radical broadcaster could do something completely revolutionary instead - like introduce tactical analysis maybe

Said the German electorate in April 1938.

Had 6 years to make it work better.

We had 100 years of trying to fix on field officiating and it was still abysmal.
