There is every point in VAR. Today was a great example of why it should be used. It shouldn't be left up to cheats like Friend, though.

VAR is going with the on-field decision 9 times out of 10. It's the referee's union sticking up for eachother.

The point is, it wasn't and that's why it's currently not fit for purpose. It's ruining the game.

I hate VAR and would gladly abandon it now but this was an instance where it should have been used to correct the mistake, if it wasn’t there, same outcome surely?

Fuck it in the fucking bin. I defended it in the summer but after seeing how it's been used or rather not used so far this season, there's entirely no point to it. Hasn't changed shite refereeing one bit. All it's done when it's been used is get people's backs up about millimetres. No improvement on where we were before.

Dreadful decision in the Leicester game as well. One of the worst tackles you’ll see reviewed and then not given as red.

By game, I mean the sport.

Yes, it wasn't used, that's the point. It should have been used to correct the refs mistake.

It's not pointless, it needs to be used properly. And Friend needs to be banned, stop using VAR as a reason to excuse the cheating bastard

VAR supported his decision. Which we all agree - as do all neutrals I've seen comment on the decision - was incorrect. So what's the point of VAR then?

Make it simple:

Each manager gets 2/3 challenges per game. They can choose when to use them.. simple?

It's pointless because it serves no purposeful use.

The premier league directive is the issue.

It's odd as in FA cup you've had refs going to monitors constantly to look at decisions. I know the time delay annoys people as much but at least the ref is getting visual evidence of whether his decision is right or not rather than just a word in the ear.

Don't think I've seen a ref yet this season go and watch a monitor pitch side. Put one by the corner flag if people are worried about the time it will take.
