Johnny Nicholson: VAR was the sweet apple that the Premier League was too weak to resist
BAD CALL: VAR was supposed to be about making the game fairer but the relationship between the technology and the fans has broken down irretrievably and no amount of excuses or counselling will repair it, writes Johnny Nicholson.
Chances are, like me, you hate VAR and rue the day when it was introduced. Even those initially in favour have fallen out of love with how it has been used. Some still support it but want it changed, adapted or supervised differently. Others want the laws of the game altered to fit in with the technology.
Safe to say, very few football fans are happy about VAR and a majority would happily see it put in the bin of history marked ‘rubbish idea.’ So why doesn’t the Premier League do what we want and get rid of it?
