I am massively in favour of it. It absolutely drives me nuts that premier league footballers, who spend ridiculous hours in the gym every week yet go to ground rolling around like they’ve been shot just because someone poked them to attempt to win a penalty or force the referee to give a red card. The “removing talking points” statement is absolute bs, as far as I can recall, VAR has caused much more controversy than any referee decision that has been made since the infamous dive from Fred to win Brazil a penalty, so in itself has provided a major talking point. Players and associated parties need clarity on it, people seem to think every decision is going to be correct and that it can be used anytime, when in reality it can only be used in red cards, goals, penalties and clarifying identity. Usually it’s just one or two of those a game, not like it’s every single minute is it?
Find it funny a load of 15/16 year olds are screaming “modern football” at it, when they weren’t even alive to recall the pre-premier league era. Technology has to be welcomed to the game, I’m sure it’s not easy to be a middle aged bloke and trying to keep up with Bellerin, Walcott etc for 90 minutes then have a load of players screaming in your ear at any opportunity
