The Kop / Re: Premier League clubs to vote on scrapping VAR
« Last post by Harrisimo on Today at 08:32:48 am »But does the appeal system change anything? VAR looked at the Doku challenge and thought it was fair. What would us 'appealing' do? The VAR would still have said no pen?
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.
