Match of the Day's Gary Lineker says he feels "guilty" for supporting the introduction of the Video Assistant Referee to the Premier League.
As someone who was against VAR from the start, I’m pleased to see someone as high profile as Lineker come out and admit he was wrong about it and has changed his mind. Fingers crossed this continues and we can start to move towards getting rid of it.
I think we will soon get semi automatic offside calls. Which will be good as decisions will take less time to be made.
My issue with VAR is the inconsistency on every other decision. We always knew referees have teams like like more than others, seems like VAR just makes all the favoritism worst
