The ongoing use of technology in football has been questioned after VAR generated more headlines than the action in two recent high-profile games.
Even clubs outside the top-flight, like Coventry City, have been on the receiving end of VAR decisions following their FA Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of Manchester United, and that match has been seized upon as clear evidence of why the technology is not working.While not explicitly calling for VAR to be dropped, former Tottenham striker Garth Crooks is highly critical of the system in his latest BBC column.
“In any other generation the offside decision judged by VAR would have been viewed as level. Even with the electronic lines that are supposed to provide the viewing public with an element of certainty, the neutral observer was left feeling no advantage by the Coventry player had occurred - and all we could actually see was a sense of injustice.
