VAR chief Neil Swarbrick marks new system as 'seven out of 10' despite criticism

The use of video assistant referees in Premier League games is given a mark of seven out of 10 by the man in charge, despite strong criticism.

7/10 would be a good rating at this stage. I'd give them 5 personally. Fairly poor.

VAR ref was Jon Moss.

This is from his wiki page


On 17 April 2016, following a 2-2 draw between Leicester City and West Ham United,[7] Moss' refereeing decisions during the match were heavily scrutinized, with Alan Shearer noting the "inconsistencies were mind-boggling".[8] On 4 February 2018, Moss drew criticism for his refereeing decisions in a Premier League match between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, which ended in a 2-2 draw.[9] Moss was seen on camera asking fourth official Martin Atkinson if there was "anything from TV", even though VAR was not in operation, before he decided to award Tottenham a penalty. During stoppage time, Moss consulted with assistant referee Eddie Smart to clarify if Harry Kane had been offside before awarding Tottenham another penalty. The Professional Game Match Officials Limited admitted that Moss was "misguided" to ask the fourth official for help using television when awarding Tottenham's first penalty, but defended his decisions.[10]

Those who can, referee.
Those who can't, VAR

with apologies to George Bernard Shaw (and teachers!)

I don’t think this is a technological problem. It’s a human one. Humans are trying to hide behind the technology or use it to justify absurd decisions which are not in the spirit of the rules of the game. They are killing spontaneity for players and supporters alike. They are not improving accuracy of decisions by any significant amount, and they are making major blunders that beggar belief! And they are making excuses.

Apart from that, VAR is fabulous.

All this crap about “black and white” offside decisions that the prat Swarbrick was waffling on about today just underlines to me that these tossers just don’t understand the vital role that emotion and the paying crowd make to football. Take the immediate explosion of emotion when a goal is scored out of the game and quite frankly it’s not worth going. It’ll never happen but the quickest way to get this shit out of the game would be for the crowd to start boycotting live TV games. The media companies would go bloody mad.

The Liverpool Spurs game was the one where he consulted his linesman who said he wasn’t sure before Moss just said ‘I think I’m going to give a penalty’ just out of the blue. He just makes it up as he goes along. Christ knows how he’s still employed in the Premier League.
