I was for it but after yesterday and the selective VAR decisions and Deli Alli as well it's complete pants. The process is terrible.

I'm still in favour in principal, but fuck me they couldn't have made more of a pigs ear of the implementation if they tried.

As James Bond would say, "shocking, positively shocking".

Var favouring Man U there. Clear foul in the build up to the goal.

It was a foul IMO, a theatrical response undoubtedly but a foul nontheless.

I’d rather the odd bad decision than this crock of shite.  It means you can’t celebrate a goal with any certainty.  It’s going to kill the game.

Does the Prem have to have VAR?  Or can they bin it off if they want?

Having the Rugby World Cup on shows how poor VAR is compared to TMO usage. No accountability or understanding of decision making in football.

There's absolutely no planet on which Wesley's "foul" was more of an offence than that one that just awarded a goal to Man U.

It seems that the rule is just to fuck over whichever team I want to win on any given occasion.

The likelihood of the PL admitting its a pile of shit is quite low.

VAR needs to be suspended until next summer. A shocking mess so far this season. It needs a complete review. Offsides shouldn't be decided by a toe nail!

Yesterday there in no way the infield Ref should have accepted reversal of his decision from remote Ref. It was subjective and as others have said he should have gone to the PSM and had a look himself. A clear and obviously VAR fail.

Sky commentators have just been discussing how they’ve been told that the on field ref will not be looking at the screen

The rugby TMO isn’t perfect but there is clear teamwork between all three on field officials and the TMO.

The VAR people and refs need to seek advice from the likes of Graham Hughes, Wayne Barnes and Nigel Owens

Absolute shambles
I’d rather have just the one cock up from the ref and get on with it
The officials are obviously incapable of making it work as it was envisaged
Scrap it
