Clubs have voted not to use VAR next season. Anyone surprised? Not me. Potentially a very useful system, but executed horrendously.
Obviously they won't go for it. It would not allow them their continued bias towards the top clubs.
VAR needs to be introduced eventually - if the "smaller" clubs are to get a fair chance of finishing in the top six. The big guns will then see their penalties reduced significantly.
Not a surprise in the slightest - I knew this was their position.
Premier League were ambivalent about VAR in the first place. They haven't been convinced by the arguments, and are not in support of the intended use in the World Cup this year. Additionally, with regards to stadium communication for the decisions (not a priority in my opinion), they point out not every stadium has a big screen. Old Trafford, for one.
Further issues still to overcome.
Do you work for the FA or PL?
What a stupid decision made at the wrong time., They would have done better to see how successful it was in the World Cup before making a decision and then ironing out any faults the first of which is make the VAR decision final. The on field ref to ask " any reason not to allow the goal" VAR says No or yes player was offside etc. The on field ref act accordingly without looking at the monitor/
It is inevitable that it will be brought in again some day but do it properly this time.
If FIFA consider it a success in the World Cup could they make it mandatory for all matches in the top divisions of each country and European competitions.?
Once again, you've completely misunderstood what's going on.
The Premier League are happy to see it trialed and tested, and await the ongoing results. I am sure they - and every other league - will get further information on its effectiveness after the World Cup. But it doesn't follow that thie particular tournament will iron out all the faults. Their decision not to use it isn't an irreversible one.
Nope.
1 I believe that now is the wrong time to make any decision other than to further investigate the faults before making a final decision on its use next season. The biggest being the actual decision making I believe that should be left entirely to the VAR,
2. FIFA being the governing body can make whatever decision they deem to be in the interest of the game so I think they could insist that its use is continued in whatever matches they decide.
I must admit to taking the statement about them voting against its use next season at face value without reading the in depth report.
