VAR needs a total sacking. They have had 5 years to get it right and it's still bollocks. The time for being promised the world about how it's going to get better next year and then it's still bollocks has run its course. I see some people arguing that it's not going to get binned, but this is going to push them to do things to make it better. My friends, that's not what this is. Don't get caught up in that line of thinking.
The proposal by Wolves is to completely remove VAR, nothing short of that will suffice. This is not another attempt at being sold another bag of goods about how VAR needs to improve for next season. This is not another attempt to keep kicking the can down the road. This is not being done to "put pressure" on them to make more improvements. They've had their chance to do that, we've had 5 years of this bollocks. They have clearly failed to improve this blight on football in any meaningful way and now we have an opportunity to rid us of this nonsense once and for all. VAR doesn't just need to be removed from the Premier League, it needs to be removed from all of football, including internationally (FIFA). But this is the first major step, this is the first domino that needs to fall in order for that to occur. My friends, we need to fight for the Beautiful Game. That is what we are tasked with presently. That's what this vote is for. If it fails, we are doomed. If it succeeds, then the good feeling that has been lost since VAR was introduced will finally return.
They have destroyed football with VAR and this action is to remove the cancer (VAR) and bring football back to its original way of doing things. The original way of doing things was never the problem. Linos have a distinct purpose and have been rendered stooges with VAR. It's important to remember that no one ever asked for VAR. VAR was forced up the football world by the maniacal FIFA President. The Premier League resisted its implementation for good reason, only to eventually give in to the BS. Now it is long past overdue to realize the mistake and start reversing course.
As was said above, Goal Line Technology was never a part of VAR, and it's the one piece of technology that can stay. As Goal Line Technology is not needed for 99.9% of goals, only the rare slow moving across the line ball that is barely over the line (or not) that happens once in a blue moon. When that happens, the match can be stopped to check to see if the ball is over the line or not. Other than that, the match needs to once again be judged solely by the linos (for offsides) and the referee. The referee's decisions need to be final, with no foreign interference or intervention. That means no semi-automatic offsides. That's another bag of goods, and is just a graphical display of the same BS we've been seeing all along, as they still have to manually decide what frame to pause it at, which is a pathetic 25 frames per second and impossible to pinpoint the exact offsides moment. Linos need to have their responsibility and job description restored. Referees need their autonomy Back. That's how football is supposed to work in case you forgot.
And removing VAR is a money saver. It will save all the clubs money, removing VAR and all its pieces will save clubs money and should result in ticket prices being lowered. If ticket prices aren't lowered, then clubs will get more revenue, and future increases in ticket prices will not be needed.
Removing VAR is a win-win for all involved. The powers that be want this nonsense to continue, because they want to be able to manipulate results in real-time from their ivory tower far away from the pitch. We need to get back to instinctive real-time decisions from the Linos and the Referee that are final ASAP. Make no mistake about it, our Beautiful Game, the one that has been lost at sea for the last 5 years is on the line in June with this critical vote.
No half-arsed compromise to make VAR better is acceptable. It needs to be binned, fully and swiftly. At least 14 clubs need to do the right thing and get this out of football, so the natural order of things can return and we can one again enjoy the Beautiful Game. If scrapping VAR gets approved by 14+ clubs, there may be some growing paints to get back to normal football, but we'll go through it, they'll re-learn normal football. We are capable of playing normal football again, even the media who have gotten used to VAR. They'll re-learn how football is supposed to work over time. And yes, as others have said, some of the laws have changed to accommodate VAR. For example the handball rule, which was changed again and again and redefined for VAR. The Premier League without VAR will need to once again return to the normal way to call handballs. Since the law was changed specifically for VAR, without VAR it should not apply and the original way of seeing handballs can return. Common sense. This is not rocket science. Get VAR out once and for all. Take a stand on June 6th, do the right thing. Please. Bless Wolves, now we all need to follow their lead, fans need to be vocal about it between now and June 6th. The Beautiful Game is on the line here.
