Rejected petition Remove var from football

Too many wrong var decisions are ruining the game of football, let's go back to how it was before. Let the ref & lines people do there job.

More details

Var was brought in to stop wrong decisions affecting matches, but sometimes it still doesn't give the right decision for example the disallowed Diaz goal in the Tottenham v Liverpool match on September 30th. They also take too long in giving a decision sometimes , interrupting the flow of the game. Stop the mistakes.
