Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters have taken to Twitter to air their frustrations on VAR.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that of the 20 clubs in the Premier League, the Old Gold had suffered most due to overturned decisions from the Video Assistant Referee (per Express and Star).
According to the report, VAR has directly cost Nuno Espirito Santo’s side four points (via Express and Star), and the Molineux faithful have seen enough of the new system.
It’s inclusion in football.

Get rid of it or if not refs use the pitch side screens.

Scrap it. It’s ruining the game.

With each week the system, introduced to the Premier League for this season (as per Premier League), is embroiled further into controversy over decisions and the time taken to reach a verdict (per Sky Sports).
Without VAR decisions going against them, the Old Gold would be sixth in the Premier League, depending on goal difference (per The Express), and the supporters have seen enough.
NEVER USE IT AGAIN!

what do we think?
The principle of VAR is, in theory, a strong one – as if done correctly it would ensure the correct decisions are always made and vastly improve the fairness of the game.
However, the formula needs tweaking if the authorities are to being to get fans onside and fix the mess (per BBC).
