Gary Lineker, Match of the Day: I don't like VAR any more (www.bbc.co.uk)

As someone who was against VAR from the start, I'm pleased to see someone as high profile as Lineker come out and admit he was wrong about it and has changed his mind. Fingers crossed this continues and we can start to move towards getting rid of it.

Yeah, agreed. This whole “challenges” thing they like in America is bullshit. It’s just another distraction, it adds complexity and, like you said, would add even more time in the decision making. Just invest in improving refereeing ffs.

I think challenges work fine in sports that naturally stop anyway - tennis, NFL, etc.

Not football though.

Agree about improving refereeing, that's a better approach IMO.
