Has VAR ruined football?

[Knight Barida]

Last season was period most clubs across Europe got a share of some harsh decisions from VAR. This has led to some calling for VAR not to be used in their leagues again. Do you think VAR should be abolished or an improvement is needed?

It's not the technology that's the problem - it's the incompetent referees in the Premier League. We've seen VAR used at the World Cup and the African Cup Of Nations and we didn't have any major refereeing errors. English referees are just crap and that's why they're hardly invited to referee any games outside of England except for the middle-east.

VAR is not the problem and I am glad that VAR was introduced when it was. There were so many times that something happened and it was either ignored or given to a team when it shouldn't have been, VAR has made sure that we see fair penalizations or fair opportunities given in a football match. 

I do feel that the referees needs to be more vigilant and not be so one-sided like they sometimes are.

The only place the use of VAR is horrible is in the English Premier League and it's because the English FA does not want to improve on how they make use of the TECHNOLOGY. It is not the technology that is a problem but the people who are making use of it which are the most inconsistent referees in the history of the sports.

It's true - English referees are absolutely incompetent. If you regularly watch the Premier League, some of the decisions they make are scandalous.
