Sunday revealed just how deeply embedded the VAR system is in the Premier League: No VAR, no football.
VAR is often called ‘technology’ but it’s not really technology. It’s not some nuanced algorithm crunched by a big giant brain of a computer in a bunker under a volcano inhabited by men in white coats. It’s a bloke looking at a telly. Calling it technology is to aggrandise the process in order to make it seem more sophisticated and thus important. That conned some into believing infallible robots would be in charge, not the pesky fallible humans. But no, it’s just a bloke and a telly.
The weather alone is just one of an infinite amount of variables, macro, micro and granular that underlie all games of soccer. So pro-VAR advocates can’t argue that all games must have VAR because it will somehow make it unfair or unequal if any are played without it. Football is never played on equal terms between teams or between games.
What do you want? A VAR for the VAR? C’mon, man, you’re barking up the wrong tree. The real problem is wanting to outlaw human error. That. Cannot. Happen. No system will do that. Be you a fan, a player or manager, just deal with that fact. Let it go.
