What the petition asks

Each week incorrect decisions are made in the Premiership, mistakes that costs teams, sponsors lots of money. Although we have got the English FA, like the FCA, during the financial crisis, the English FA have been an ineffective regulatory body as they have not taken action to make the game fair.

The 2018 world cup shows us that VAR can and does work when used properly. Out of a total of 335 incidents checked through VAR (with an astonishing number of 6.9 average per match), there were 14 decisions changed after VAR reviews. Out of the 24 penalties awarded in the world cup, 7 have been awarded by the VAR system; which is a whopping 29% impact
