The Good and the Bad of Video Assistant Referee (VAR)

February 11, 2019 Posted by Jonathan Adams Editorial No comments

Football has been labeled as the world’s most beautiful game. But we don’t know if it still holds up to that reputation with the coming of the Video Assistant Referee. A lot has changed in the world of football from the rules of the game and the finances at large. But the coming of VAR at the just ended World Cup tournament proved to be a drastic change in football.

The VAR has brought some negative and positives changes in the game. So let’s get into details about the good and the bad of the new tech in football.

Positives about Video Assistant Referee

One might view the VAR as the same thing we see in Cricket in the form of the Decision Review System. Well, according to online gambling south africa, it’s one and the same but the difference is that in football the referee is able to overrule the VAR decision.

Moreover, another important aspect of VAR is that it brings the drama and the tension especially when everyone is eagerly waiting for the official’s final say. It brings the thrills of the betting room right to the stadium. Those kinds of moments are actually what make the game more interesting and fascinating. It might be a nerve-wracking moment, but those kinds of moment are actually needed in the game.

Negative

When VAR was introduced it brought about mixed feelings in the football circle. Some pundits and other football personalities have applauded the development but some were not sure if the system will bring the right solution in the game.

As much as the match official has the final say the VAR system has taken over the human element of the match officiating. All the debates are no longer necessary. Footballs and online sports betting fans love debating about the red cards, the offsides as well as the goals but without those human errors there nothing to talk about really.

So we will live it up to you to debate if you think the new boy in the game is a necessity or we are not going forward.
