'Not football anymore': Wolves fans have latest swipe at VAR after Sunderland hair pull dismissal

However that was not the case for Wolves fans after a controversial VAR call hit the headlines early in their clash with Sunderland.

With the Black Cats 1-0 up and Wolves being run all over - a VAR check was conducted for violent conduct.

Everyone in the ground was perplexed as to what it was - before screens showed they were looking at a possible incident between Dan Ballard and Tolu Arokodare.

Referee Paul Tierney was sent to the pitch side monitor to look at whether there had been a hair pull from the Sunderland defender on the Wolves forward.

It has become somewhat of a craze at the moment - with a handful of player punished for it.

And after a VAR review, Tierney sent Ballard off following the incident.

Initially there was a big roar from the Wolves fans when the red card came - but that was quickly followed by loud chants that have been heard a number of times in recent seasons.

Wolves fans have long been against the technology - and the club even moved to try and have it scrapped.

And after the incident, despite it favouring Wolves, the fans, certainly in the South Bank were chanting ‘boring, boring’, following it up with ‘It’s not football anymore’.

There were also a handful of corrupt chants towards the Premier League - which has been a regular one from the Wolves fans.
