The most overwhelmingly popular thing to happen to football in the past 30 years is VAR. It is supported by over 80% of fans. It still needs tweaking... but it is far superior to the obscene amount of hideous mistakes made every single week before its implementation. VAR is here for life.
Yeah. If anything we wanted more accountability. Like how is Michael Oliver on Var duty for he FA cup final after his calls all season. It went fine but still
I think the thing is, when refs make mistakes without VAR you get annoyed but forget about it because they only see it once in person and can miss things realistically, but when they make mistakes with VAR you get angry for a week because there’s literally no excuse 😂
Without var you'd have the traditional top 6 clubs overhyping their players and winning quads in their dreams then come up short to City again then start crying City bribed the refs without var
VAR is in 70+ leagues and even more cups, domestic and international and no one is complaining as much as the premiership fans, so that shows it our awful officials.
@@daleviker5884 If that was the case, they would be complaining about VAR in the champions league or Europa, but they rarely do. Its just the premiership where its a mess.
I just can't see how any fans can be against VAR. Without VAR, the FA CUP final would have been MAN City vs COVENTRY! The issue is with the refs using the VAR.
Before when mistakes happened people were able to say "it happens" now every fan expects referees to never make another mistake again. In general the percentage of "correct calls" has gone up but the big mistakes are now scrutinized even more.
3:02 Wait, so just because the clubs have voted VAR in, they shouldn't call it out when it is not doing it's job properly?? How is it ever gonna improve when it's not being held to account... Calling it out is part of its improvement process. That's like saying, "If you're against killing your children, then don't moan when they misbehave" ... Calling them out or holding then accountable is part of their growth. VAR is here to stay... A great majority of fans have no problem with that as long as it's improving... And calling it out and "moaning about it" will steer it in that direction...
And they are still going to be here next year, making more blatant errors with no consequences. You're going to be complaining about it next year, guaranteed
@@coc235 Yh but you guys make it seem like the PGMOL are going to get rid of or punish refs like Michael Oliver and Antyony Taylor who make mistakes every week.

Sorry Mark you are dead wrong on this……the quality of the refereeing is what needs addressing. Taking away a tool that has eliminated more errors is just daft. Be sides we all have VAR, with slow mo’s and playbacks on Sky and all manner of platforms, screen and capture tech etc. No quality of refereeing, paying them more, and open transparency about on field decisions like Rugby that is what is needed.
Let’s have it right! VAR isn’t the problem! It’s the bloody helmets that operate it. VAR works pretty well around Europe….. except the prem. I want it gone. The referees are so bad here it’s unbelievable. It’s a joke
it would be hilarious for something like maradona's hand of god to defeat man united in a final and watch mark completely go in on the ref for not opening is eyes
VAR has given Man City two titles, this year with the non call vs. Liverpool, and in 2021 or 2022 with the NON Hand Ball call vs. Everton. So, Arsenal and Liverpool were shafted out of titles. As an Everton fan the Dirty Reds not winning felt right 🤣🤣BEING HONEST GUYS !!!!!!
He isn't wrong, its realistic. Now that its staying, do you think the PGMOL is going to actually improve the quality of refereeing? No, they just got let off, and now its business as usual

Stopping the car and changing the tire means you’re still driving the same car. You don’t just throw away your car if you’ve got a flat tire, well walking worked perfectly well before.

I'm a wolves fan and I'm thinking we are going be on the receiving end of bad decisions next season, we are going to get pelted financially with transfer rules and then screwed in matches, we might as well pack up and go back to the championship
I guarantee if fans boycott like they did with the super league, they'd scrap VAR in 3 seconds. Clubs need money, but they need fans more. We saw how effective it was
It needs to be fixed, not removed. As soon as you get rid of it, the same people who have called for it to be scrapped will be the same people who say “well VAR would’ve fixed that” when the ref makes a mistake in the game.
As bad as var has seemed I do think they've gotten the vast majority right, but the big mistakes are just magnified. I think it's silly to scrap var, it's like saying "This has not been perfect so we're going to scrap it and just accept the errors that happen", because referee errors will still happen without var, but there won't be any mechanism to try and catch those errors. Var shouldn't be scrapped, it should be improved.
Because ultimately without var the mistakes that var was supposed to correct will still have happened. I'm a Liverpool fan but if we didn't have var this past season Luis Diaz's goal against Tottenham still wouldn't have counted because there would not have been any mechanism to correct the call on the pitch. So I don't see the benefit in scrapped var, it just seems silly. Ultimately I want the correct calls and var is a way to try and get that, but it needs improving.
Totally agree with you here Goldbridge....no1 from any other club(besides Wolves) has the right to complain about mistakes by VAR after such vote swing from now on
The var as it stood last season was an abomination. We need to keep var separate from the men in the middle and on the lines. It needs to be independent of pgmol. We can't have refs officiating in the middle east 36 hours before a game in the UK and going into var and making childish mistakes.
84% of decisions last season were correct, this season in 95% VAR has been good. It comes down to bad communication, and refs not willing to challenge each other over the calls. Rugby has it spot on they always say ‘Are you sure please check again’ or ‘No I think you’re wrong because of this, this and this’. Clear and concise communication is needed and then VAR will be great.
I love how mark acts like he’s the voice of the fans while he actively ignores damn near half of the fans saying “VAR is not the problem, the refs are the problem”
As most sane people have commented " VAR IS NOT THE PROBLEM ITS THE REFREES".. The refrees should be held accountable and currently there is no punishment for bad calls.
What they need to do with VAR is for one whole season, run it as normal, but in private, without any impact on games. Let the ref, two linesmen and fourth official adjudicate matches (like old) without any connection or communication with VAR. And VAR would live-trial each and every match elsewhere separately. Rules could be standardised and conventions set without the pressure and risk of presiding over bad decisions that have massive implications. All without the charge of emotion and fan/media/public scrutiny. A much stabler foundation on which to build the VAR rule book. They could even compare decisions VAR makes versus decisions the ref makes in the actual matches. That'd prove to be a very useful tool for standardising decisions, I reckon.
VAR is not the problem. It's the officials. We get rid of it, it will be like that's a penalty, how has the ref not given that. More chaos without it. TV should be able to hear what's going on, like in Rugby. The Championship is in need of it. The amount of the penalties Bristol City didn't get for so many games, was ridiculous. I think we need to have VAR only in the Quarter Final's onwards in the FA Cup & Carabao Cup.
My problem with the thinking is that if the goals or cards weren’t given when they should have been before VAR intervened, how do you feel when the refs just keep making those same mistakes that should have been changed by VAR?
The other 19 clubs voting for it says it all. It was worth having a vote but I agree that the best decision is probably to just improve it. Semi-automated offsides is a step in the right direction. They aren't happy with VAR but don't think it's worth getting rid of
I hope they go through with the specialists and not referees as it’ll be better if the VAR people are not apart of the game and are entirely independent and make a judgement according to the rules and not what the referee has given
What is wrong is when VAR was brought in it was up to the ref on the pitch if he wanted to go over and look at something which is the way it should be then if ref misses something it is on the ref on the pitch you cant turn football into a exact science
As per usual mark i agree. Spot on. All the moaning this season and everyone but wolves votes in favour. FA must be throwing money at these dodgy money grabbing clubs. Absolutely no integrity at all. Its all about money and nothing else.

The other 19 clubs voting for it says it all. It was worth having a vote but I agree that the best decision is probably to just improve it. Semi-automated offsides is a step in the right direction. They aren't happy with VAR but don't think it's worth getting rid of
Make a video on what are the best suggestions for FFP
VAR needs to get better not removed. Let’s not forget the MANY awful decisions that brought about VAR in the first place
Var is good for long run , the problem is the refs . Look the UCL , there werent many wrong decisions made
Give us refs who aren't on a payroll by clubs and who actually know the rules, VAR isn't the problem.
I hope they go through with the specialists and not referees as it’ll be better if the VAR people are not apart of the game and are entirely independent and make a judgement according to the rules and not what the referee has given
What is wrong is when VAR was brought in it was up to the ref on the pitch if he wanted to go over and look at something which is the way it should be then if ref misses something it is on the ref on the pitch you cant turn football into a exact science
Those refs are the worst thing in the world.
As per usual mark i agree. Spot on. All the moaning this season and everyone but wolves votes in favour. FA must be throwing money at these dodgy money grabbing clubs. Absolutely no integrity at all. Its all about money and nothing else.
Remove VAR if you want more of Soucek's comedic goal against City
Exactly. That could have handed arsenal the league. That’s crazy
Flat tyre on the motorway you pull over and fix it that's what this summer break is. Terribly analogy
Well, it comes down to how many decisions they get right vs wrong compared to the same before VAR.
Var is not the problem, the implementation of it by Refs is.
