With all the money in the game, we should. Science has found a way to create warp drives that moves space around it. That we don't have the technology yet to do, To know when a ball is kicked and where a body part is in relation to another body part? Absolutely we do. We need to use it.

Come on. It’s clear and obvious!
Keep and use for obvious mistakes. That was what it was bought in for. VAR should probably only be used two or three times a season for each team. Should never be a part of every game.

It would be great if fans of all Premier League clubs organised banners and decided on a set minute in the games on Sunday to all collectively chant for the removal of VAR.
PREMIER LEAGUE FANS SAY NO TO VAR!

Are there problems with VAR? Absolutely. 100%
Is the solution to throw out the baby with the bath water? That I'm less sure about.
Surely a better VAR would be better than no VAR at all? Not that I'm sure what exactly would make a better VAR. But as others have mentioned, we have technology. We should use it.
It definitely needs a complete and very careful rethink.

They are using all this season’s VAR decisions to train a large learning model. By applying the power of generative AI they will be able to make the wrong decision pretty much instantaneously in future

As long as...
When Albion lose to an offside goal, as in the player was offside but there wasn't a lot in it, folk don't start threads saying we were robbed. We weren't, it is nigh on impossible for a linesman to make a full judgement on ball from foot and marginal positioning of receipt of ball. So there will be loads of errors.
If folk can accept them as part of the game and not whinge then I'm all in for its removal.

I can think of a shorter, more pithy and to the point chant that can already be heard around PL grounds most weeks......
Yeh, yeh, alright. All the people shouting for the end of VAR are Neanderthals that voted Brexit. Burn them! - let's have change after change in football - after all, change is good, change after change after change is known as 'progress'. Anything else is reactionary, backward looking ................... probably everything else that Brexiteers are supposed to be in favour of, eh?
BTW, 10 point deduction for bringing up Brexit on a football thread.

Keep it, it's part of the game now.....but FFS make a decision quicker. If it's that close you have to bring out the micrometer, then it's close enough to give a goal
Yes, agreed. Half the problem then was pundits (BBC and ITV) over-analysing the ref's decisions (with slow-mo) time and time again until we were all convinced there was a problem.
Well, they were right in a way - we do have a problem now!
Bring in a ten second rule. A howler can be seen almost straight away - if it takes more than ten seconds, it isn't a howler.
(N.B. this suggestion doesn't in any way contradict my vote for VAR not only to be binned, but stomped into little pieces and force-fed down its proponents' throats!)

Correct. We need to improve the standard and neutrality of the officials more than anything. Remove VAR and we will be complaining of bad biased decisions. Keep VAR and we will company about bad biased decisions. Without better referees nothing changes.
Being angry at VAR is ignoring the real problem.

there will be errors. there will be moaning. but that will be moaning for the right reason, a mistake in the moment, rather than the outcome of 5 minutes analysis with hi-tech crayons.
Football was never perfect . Fans don’t need perfect now the match day game has been ruined .
Bad decisions always been part of the game
F k VAR and sing it proud

Well done Wolves,how we didn't submit the same request after the Spurs away farce and V Palace when Estupinans goal was ruled out I've no idea I can't think of anything good about VAR apart from getting rid of it.

I'm surprised Liverpool didn't after their legitimate goal was ruled out
