How poor are the referees in the premier league? Every season the standards seem to drop even more. Fans saying VAR is not fit for purpose etc. but the problem with VAR is that it is the same low standard referees that are monitoring it 1 week then refereeing a game the following week. They’re continually making very poor decisions that are affecting games every week. Something needs to be done to improve the standards of the referees.

Should get ex players doing VAR.

If its like punditry, then var will consist of ex man utd, arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea players.

They need to tell VAR to shut the **** up most of the time.

VAR should only intervene when requested to by the team captain who questions the on field decision. 2 reviews each half for each team. Outside of that let the ref get on with it.

I am not a supporter of VAR, but yesterday’s game Newcastle v Arsenal showed how it can work for the good reasons. An Arsenal player judged to have been fouled by Newcastles goalkeeper. Penalty. In some cases with some referees the goalie may have been sent off. VAR judged correctly that the Newcastle goalie got a touch to the ball, and so no foul committed.

I thought the Arsenal player kicked the ball onto the keepers foot, and had the keeper not brought him down he could have gone on to score?
