A debate is currently occurring about if it would be better to scrap VAR now of risk people turning off the sport due to time delays and bizarre decisions VAR Is making.

The referees for not accepting wrongdoing and somewhat incompetence may be the reason people turn away from the EPL.

That and bringing geopolitics into sports lol. The further down the hole we go the more I question why I'm a fan.

Are you suggesting that geopolitics have nto been involved in sports before now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Involved maybe once in a blue moon. 3 or 4 being shoved down your throat for every single match is a very recent thing. And it's fucking annoying.

Not really. Sure, I’m using that phrasing but it’s the same discussion. Politics have always been involved in sport.

I’ve found myself being more interested in smaller clubs at the epl level and lower league games, lately. The quality isn’t the same, but there seems to be less bullshit and more enjoyable fan based to interact with. That’s just me tho. Idk if anyone else feels the same haha

These two, more than the review system.

The EPL has integrity issues, they flow into the umpiring.
