Remove VAR from the Premier League
Rejected
19 signatures
What the petition asks
Hold the Premier League accountable to remove VAR from the league immediately.
VAR is ruining football each and every week, the Premier League is not effectively resourced to deliver this technology and the Government need to step in and end this dreadful blight on the game.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions about how to referee football matches is a matter for organisers and the football authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
