Enjoy all your downvotes for acting like this is some foregone conclusion.
To add to everyone else’s points as to why this won’t happen, this would also have a hugely negative impact on the top half of the table (AKA where the money is) in European Competition.
VAR is going nowhere with UEFA, so removing it from England would put English clubs at a disadvantage in UCL/UEL/ECL. The EPL is also kind of obligated to do new things as the biggest league, and avoiding technology while RT he rest of the world adapts would be stupid and regressive.
VAR is only a few years old. It’s a huge change that the laws of the game are catching up to. I give years when offside calls are more precise and automated, cameras are better used and positioned, refs are actually VAR specialists rather than refs thrown into a new role, and whatever else, this will be faster and more accurate, making it less intrusive and controversial.
They’re responding to mistakes as they go and doing things to prevent those mistakes which is not an overnight process. It’s already been statistically proven to increase reffing accuracy, they just have to make it less disruptive to game flow and more transparent. And mistakes feel worse because the call has gone under the microscope and still happened, but I think we’ll see a lot less of that in the next 2-3 years
Found the most accurate and sensible answer to this “Kill VAR” non-sense. Please upvote!
It’s a new tool that will be tamed in time. I don’t think our ancestors were doing high end cooking or fireworks when they had just discovered fire. Imagine if some short sighted folks called for “cancel fire” back in the days!!!
