When the Premier League became the last of Europe’s major leagues to adopt VAR in 2019, it was seen as a long time coming. Used to huge success in a number of other sports, there was a widespread belief that this would revolutionise and improve the game exponentially.
Fast forward five years and the very mention of the term provokes feelings of indignation and resentment. But does this anger stem from an issue with the technology itself, or the needlessly convoluted processes of using it? I’d argue it’s almost entirely the latter, and that, while there are no doubt a plethora of problems with VAR, particularly in the context of the Premier League, scrapping it entirely would be a truly mad decision.
Anger about these objectively wrong errors will only be heightened in the knowledge that we’ve binned the very technology that made it possible to fix these mistakes.It’s also both lazy and ignorant to suggest that VAR is the sole problem when changes could be made to improve it so easily. For a start, you could make offsides automated, like the Champions League has already been doing. You could stop sending officials to a tiny monitor every single time and speed up the decision-making process.
