VAR isn't the issue. It's the fucking cowboys behind the monitor that's the issue.

VAR should be removed from the referees and the PGMOL and given to a separate set of trained operators.

They have about 9 months to train up a few teams with no affiliation to the current refs. Surely they can find capable operators better than this lot. They have a perfect opportunity to select the best bits from NFL, Rugby, NHL and NBA and create the best system for the self proclaimed best league in the world.

Leaving referees to referee fellow referees will never ever work. I think VAR is a necessity but the fucking dinosaurs in charge will never utilise it correctly.

Fuck VAR shouldn't be the tagline. It's fuck the refs and fuck the PGMOL. Even with technology aiding them they can't help but make a shite of everything. They're not capable of the job and in most other industries would have been fucked out on their arse for incompetence by now.
