PARIS (Reuters) - If team bosses were to be heard, most French clubs would have more points after eight Ligue 1 matches in a season that has been marked by complaints about the Video Assistant Referee.

Olympique Lyonnais president Jean-Michel Aulas said his team had been stripped of five points because of the VAR while Clermont coach Pascal Gatien believes the promoted side should have an extra four points.

Defender Emerson was sent off by referee Bastien Dechepy, the VAR did not overrule him and on the resulting free kick, Armand Lauriente scored in what ended in a 1-1 draw. "VAR only shows its effectiveness in one case, that of offside. For the rest, we are in situations that can lead to errors and that would therefore deserve very detailed explanations.

The French referees' ruling body has been refusing to comment on decisions which, Aulas said, could lead to referees and VAR being 'discredited'.
