And I suspect it will be this summer.

    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.

    Guess that’s a 3 game touchline ban for Gary…

    And a 5 second penalty for Ocon

    VAR should be fully automated and AI powered. Get rid of aging blind bats staring at screens.

    I don’t understand why you think VAR will be gone this summer. You believe the league would simply roll over and say that VAR has been a failure? You’re absolutely out to lunch here.

    VAR has many faults, but it isn’t going anywhere.

      More so, VAR works much better on the continent, so Gary should be saying “English VAR needs to learn lessons.”

    I’m not sure what Wolves has done to PGMOL, but I don’t think there is any team that gets shafted more than Wolves this season. Today was just horrid. Three huge mistakes in one single game. O’Neil has every right to complain today. And I hope other managers will join him (looking at you, Arteta and Klopp). Because this is just unacceptable.

    Christ. They are not getting rid of VAR. IFAB are meeting tomorrow in London to discuss expanding it to corners, free kicks and second yellow cards.

    Oh well if Gary O’Neil is calling for it to be scrapped it will definitely be gone by the morning then.

    You’d have to be out of your mind to think that VAR is going anywhere. The genie’s out of the bottle, both in England and worldwide. The entire footballing community has accepted VAR, warts and all. You’re going to see it entering more facets of the game as time goes on.

    VAR is a slow walk for in-game advertisements. I don’t want this to happen but I’m sure we will eventually hear something to the effect of “This Tesco VAR is brought to you by Ryanair”

      Perfect combination of sponsors to explain their lengthy delays and logic defying decisions. Blow to the head foul not recognised by self service checkout so please wait for an assistant. Goal disallowed due to excessive kit bag dimensions
