I try not to judge it on the games we're involved in knowing I am always going to have a bias, but there are massive inconsistencies in how it's being used. Sometimes things are reviewed over and over while others are reviewed for seconds. I mean, how could it have got the Bruno Fernandes penalty decision against Villa so wrong? Because it only reviewed it very, very briefly. Referees have had meetings recently to discuss how it should be being used and I think rather than some grand conspiracy it is just that they do not have a clear set of guidelines as to how to use it (or they're interpreting them differently). Sadly for some teams this experiment could have cost them points which are the difference between staying up or not, or getting into Europe or not. We had some luck earlier in the season with VAR, but the last two games it has definitely not looked kindly on us. Hopefully next season there will at least be some clarity around how it should be used. Also, they need to introduce some new blood into the refereeing pool as some of the fat old f**ks have grown too long in the tooth and seem stuck up their own ars*s. How can you get paid as much they do and be allowed to turn up to games with a beer belly (aka Jonathan Moss)?

Covid-19 has meant empty stadiums. But it looks like VAR means the same to me. What is the point in going to a football match? And they are making wrong decisions so what can possibly be the point of VAR if it is not 100% accurate. Credit to players and staff for keeping their sanity. SP tweets is it a busted system, the answer must be yes.

It seems that this season In particular there have been some really poor decisions and the last 2 weeks the focus has been on us. The Sakho disallowed goal for handball, now I am not a medical expert but I have never known the collar bone to be recognised as part of the arm. As for the Ayew offside, for VAR to scrutinise the video footage for as long as they did means the goal should have stood. What ever happened to the attacking side having an advantage. The angle shown was not conclusive on television so the goal should have stood, end of. I don’t want to say if the boot had been on the other foot, United would have been awarded the goal, but even I am questioning it now.

Referees and VAR are corrupt

It's unbearable. Hate it with a passion. Massively over used. Said it before, and I'll say it again... 1 review per captain per game. Ref gets 30 seconds to review it on a screen from 3 different angles. That is more than enough time to spot a 'clear and obvious' error. If inconclusive, original decision stands. I don't know anyone who likes it. Fans need to make a stand if they want to get rid of it.

VAR or no VAR refs in the Premier are bad to the point of suspect.
