CHRIS SUTTON: Shelve VAR until the end of the season

Daily Mail  

For those of you who are wondering, I can safely say I never scored with an armpit. We watch football because we want to see goals and this season a total of 33 have been overturned by VAR. The big screen at St Mary's confirms Crystal Palace's disallowed goal after VAR intervention Norwich's Teemu Pukki was adjudged offside after scoring against Tottenham on Saturday Take Wilfried Zaha, for example. Wolves players are aghast after their equaliser against Liverpool was disallowed following VAR I say shelve VAR until the end of the season, until we can find some common sense. People talk about going back to the way it used to be, but then the moment an assistant referee makes a howler, we’d be ripping into them all over again!
