Rules Video Assistant Referee

Has football looked at bringing in a cricket style VAR challenge system?

Keep semi-automated off side, and goalline tech. For all the other stuff, teams get 2 challenges per match, called by the on field captain, within a time limit.

Like cricket, if VAR overturns the on field decision, you keep your challenges.

It puts more onus on the teams, and less onus on the VAR to referee absolutely everything. Also more interest and engagement for the in stadium spectators.
 
So, not recommending that Nketiah be sent off for his assault on Vicario early in the season was not an error by VAR?

The Key Match Incident panel are almost as bad as VAR.
Yeah and that’s the factor I think they’ve missed. Like those are the stats for the incidents they’ve selected, but there are other incidents that aren’t included that should be.

And honestly…we were given two penalties all season while the others in the “big six” had 10-12. It’s completely ridiculous. I do think it doesn’t necessarily even out, and it’s not as though each club should have 10. But there’s something wrong when some clubs are getting 1/2 and others are getting 5 times that.

And, looking at the issues since inception, no wonder Wolves are so upset. The -18 for them is really unbelievable!

They have judged that var didn't get the niketeh one wrong. It's one of the reasons VAR making better decisions stats are bumpf. They mark their own homework
 
Ben Davies says players aren’t a fan of it.

It's just been reported on Radio 5, that there may not be a vote, as support for V.A.R. is so overwhelming. But Wolves still want a vote to take place.
 
Bottled it. Only club with any right to bemoan var next season is wolves. The rest shut up and take what you voted for after seeing what happens week in week out.
