Get it gone, won't be a minute too soon! Good on you Wolves.

Best thing I've heard regarding the premier league for a long time, if it's correct.  Get rid. Sucks the joy out of the game

[DennisNedry]

I'd absolutely love this.

 

Never, at any point this season, such as Daka's goal at Leeds being incorrectly ruled out, did I wish we had VAR.

 

Doubt the vote will go the way I want it to though.

 

Not looking forward to holding back on celebrating any goal next season in case somebody's toenail was offside in the build up.

Can we have no VAR but automatic offsides

I've always said I can live with honest reffing errors.  They might hurt at the time but overall they even themselves out over the course of a season.  Even though it helped us win the cup I would still do away with it

[Red Squirrel]

If you asked the fans I reckon 80% would be in favour of scrapping it.

 

Its absolutely no good for fans at the match. TV will hype it a bit because they are interested in drama wherever it comes from.

Makes Premier League football somewhat more appealing.

you know this ****er is going to miss out by 1 vote

The current version of VAR is terrible and fans lose out.

Back to drawing board and design a proper VAR system that is quicker, involves the fans in stadium, and is used for specific decisions only.

Agree won't happen too much invested in the (flawed) system..

[leicesterseddon]

Will be interesting to see which clubs vote for and against this.

 

[David Hankey]

Remarkable really when you consider not so long ago many wanted change.

 

This reinforces the saying; "be careful what you wish for".

I'd be amazed if they scrap it.

[STUHILL]

Wow, surprised by this as football in general seems to be making wrong decision after wrong decision. 

 

Scrap it! Let's get that euphoric feeling back when you score a goal! 

[Unabomber]

Wow this is going to be great. Can’t imagine many voting for it to stay. 

[FrankieADZ]

Utd
City

Arsenal

Liverpool

Spurs

Newcastle

Chelsea

 

bet they all vote to keep it

This just seems too good to be true. I can’t see it getting through but I’d love it if it did. 

[Tuna]

Just remove it from the game, the tech is ok but I can't see the PGMOL ever using it correctly

Quite a shambles.
