It won't be ditched because Premier League managers were screaming blue murder that officials were costing their team points and making too many mistakes.
I think if we ditched VAR it would then be utter carnage and the pressure on refs would be even more unsurmountable. Refs are still really getting it in the neck WITH VAR, so you can only imagine how bad it would be if it was all back on them again.
It won't get ditched.
VAR takes so much pressure off refs.
See below....
Howard Webb on the idea to scrap VAR: "It would be foolish to take away a tool that can remove clear errors from the game - almost 40 this season. Usually, we 've seen around 100 situations rectified through the use of VAR. Why would you want to take that away & leave those errors in the game?"
"We are always looking for ways we can improve the use of it, through consistent application in the subjective world that football is and the enhanced use of technology.
"I understand delays can cause frustration but sometimes they are unavoidable when you are doing the job diligently.
"It protects the game from some clear errors and the thought of going into some big games without that facility there, I don't think many referees would want that."
On on the narrative how the ref standards are worse than before due to VAR
"I don't agree with that. People can have a fond recollection of the past. The game is spoken about and scrutinised more and is probably less forgiving than ever. That factors into people's perceptions.
"There have been errors that live large. We have to accept that. I always hold my hands up if I get something wrong. Over time, you work to reduce them. But the reality is pretty positive.
"Some of the initiatives in place through extra investment take some time to permeate through. We have seen officials come out of the development group taking charge of their first Premier League games. That is happening at every level."
