The Kop / Re: Premier League clubs to vote on scrapping VAR
« Last post by Lallana in Pyjamas on Today at 01:47:50 pm »No the Doku challenge wasn't looked at. The appeals I'm taking about is not to the VAR ref. It sends the match Ref direct to the monitor and the ref could quickly realise the error.
The biggest problem with VAR is the ludicrous 'clear & obvious ' error rule. It's not clearly defined and never can be. The solution is to give the power of appeal to the captain and to send the match ref to the pitch side monitor. It's not that time consuming, it would speed up decisions.
The Doku challenge was dismissed because Oliver said it was a 'coming together' VAR was heavily influenced by that, The captain appealing takes away the uncertainty surrounding the ludicrous 'clear & obvious' error tosh. It is the problem.
The Doku challenge was looked at by VAR
What difference would an appeal make
If another ref isn’t going to send a ref to the monitor then why would they bring in a system that a player can send the ref to the monitor
