Premier League clubs are set to hold a vote at their general meeting next month on whether to get rid of the video assistant referee (VAR) system, as revealed by The Athletic.VAR has been used in England’s top flight since the start of the 2019-20 campaign and, despite making numerous correct decisions and helping on-field officials make difficult calls, has been the source of almost weekly controversy over the last five seasons due to its own errors and the lengthy delays.Here, The Athletic details some of the most controversial and notable VAR decisions that have taken place this season which have led to discontent among clubs — notably Wolves, who tabled the proposal to scrap VAR。In the opening round of matches in the 2023-24 Premier League season, Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana — who was making his debut for the club — came for a cross in second-half added time against Wolves but got nowhere near the ball and clattered into striker Sasa Kalajdzic inside the penalty area.Once a week for an hour, The Athletic’s subscribers can ask me for my views on anything from the world of football.I have pulled together some of my favourite questions and my answers to them from the latest Q&A below. Thanks to all who took part today.Want to ask me a question? I’ll be back next week for another session.
