The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology continues to anger football coaches in English clubs. After the Tottenham-Liverpool match incident and the Reds not awarding a valid goal, Arsenal coach Michael Arteta considered a goal awarded by the technology against his club to be a “disgrace,” and extended The command for the Champions League during the match between Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain.
Monitoring a report on the websiteThe Athletic“, opinions of coaches of major English clubs on how to develop the technology, which was supposed to help reduce arbitration controversy, but it caused greater controversy.
The latest strong statements against the “VAR” technique were made by the coach of the English club Wolverhampton, Gary O’Neill, last week, after awarding two penalty kicks against his team during a league match against Fulham. He said: “Maybe tonight I completely lost confidence in the VAR technology.”
Two days after his statements, and following a match in the Champions League on Wednesday, the English football legend and Newcastle club described the match referee’s decision to award a penalty kick in stoppage time for Paris Saint-Germain against his former club, as “disgusting.”
Arsenal coach Arteta also attacked the technique after awarding a goal to Newcastle against his team in the English Premier League last month, due to the possibility of the ball leaving the field and the presence of a violation on the team scoring the goal, and also because of the possibility of it being offside. The VAR referees reviewed the goal for more than 5 minutes before declaring it correct, causing the London club to lose the match.
Arteta said about the goal being awarded: “This is a shame.”
England…a new move after the disastrous mistake in the Liverpool-Tottenham match
The body responsible for referees in the English Premier League said on Tuesday that it would make changes to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in the wake of the errors that led to Liverpool player Luis Diaz’s goal not being counted against Tottenham recently.
All of these incidents came after a situation described as “catastrophic”, during the match between Liverpool and Tottenham in the English Championship as well, when those responsible for the referees admitted that there was an error in communication between the “VAR” referees and the arena referee, which made the latter call Liverpool striker Luis Diaz offside, and cancel the match. A valid goal for the team from which two players were expelled during the match.
“Greater clarity”
Following the Paris Saint-Germain match, Newcastle coach Eddie Howe told The Athletic website that he “would like to see referees be intentional about their decisions instead of relying on the screen, in addition to having more clarity regarding the counting of handballs.”
Howe said: “If a referee makes a decision, and the VAR referees call him to review it on the screen, I want him to make the decision himself instead of telling him what to do. Currently 99 percent of the referees agree with (VAR’s) decisions instead of their own decisions.”
He added: “The handball law is vague, and perhaps this is the biggest problem. I will struggle to explain to you what can be counted as a handball and what cannot.

Manchester United coach Eric Ten Hag agreed with this, saying: “Video technology must be clear and clear.”
As Fulham coach Marco Silva said: “We have to help the referees, but we must also give them responsibility for making decisions.”
Regarding the idea of delaying decision-making by video technology referees, Silva said: “What everyone wants in the world of football is to be as decisive as possible. I prefer to see quick decisions, in order to maintain enthusiasm in the match, rather than stopping for a minute, two or three.”
“Eroding the authority of the rulers”
Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou said, following his team’s 4-1 loss to Chelsea last month, that the video assistant referee (VAR) technology causes “erosion” of the authority of match referees.
He stated, according to the “The Athletic” report: “If I heard someone say that what is happening is not a referee above the referee, I will explode in his face, because this is what actually happens,” adding that the technique initially came for “clarity.”
He continued: “A clear and clear mistake means that everyone in the video technology room sees something and decides: This is a mistake. But replaying from 7 different angles and slowing down, this will not be a clear mistake. This is a referee above the referee present in the match.”

He pointed out that what distinguished the goal-line technique was that it was completely clear, with the decision being “black or white,” after which play continued quickly.
Brentford coach Thomas Frank said, “The problem is because there are gray situations. Everyone makes mistakes, but what is important is how we can be without contradictions as much as possible.”
While Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp, warned against the idea of “embarrassing” the video technology room referees to the main match referee, as decisions are made in a “dark corner” and reported to the arena referee, he said.
