Scrap VAR in football

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

To scrap VAR in football it’s killing the game for everyone and every team.
To come up with some sort of idea to get rid off VAR and go back to normal football. Speak to the premier league about the situation.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about how to referee football matches is a matter for organisers, not the Government or House of Commons.
