    Nope. It's a self-inflicted nonsense that the moneygrabbers need to sort out themselves.

    Will they take any notice of a petition?
    Perhaps players and managers should take a stand and agree to not celebrate goals anymore until it is scrapped.

    They should refuse to score any goals at all, go a whole season of just 0-0 draws.

    No, I agree with VAR and I think the application of it is improving after a few teething problems. Some of the recent controversies tagged as relating to VAR were actually nothing to do with the system itself, but separate issues such as the changes to the handball rule. As long as the rules it is deployed to apply are sensible ones, VAR is fine and reduces the number of refereeing mistakes.

    Fair point well made. VAR is shining a spotlight on the daft rule changes I guess.

    VAR isn't the problem it's how they use it, the inconsistencies and some of it is just plain common sense.

    There's no such thing as being "level" onside anymore and there's no such thing as "ball to hand" anymore it seems, but that isn't the fault of VAR, that's the people looking at it and making daft decisions.

    There's no going back. As soon as it was stopped there would be howlers which would have everyone up in arms...
    As others as said, poor laws, interpretations, decision making, processes and communication are letting the system down - it'll get better
