The main reason why it was brought into Inception was because of the natural human mistakes that are made by referees during football games all over the world take a look at Frank Lampard's disallowed goal in the 2010 world cup for England, so many controversial decisions such as this is the reason why the video assistant referee was brought into play. </p><p>The truth is that so many refereeing mistakes cost so many teams a whole lot during football games and you have to know that referees are human beings and are liable to make mistakes sometimes their mistakes end up being too costly especially for teams who have worked so hard and end up losing as a result of refreeing mistakes. So VAR is meant to make footballing decisions and obviously a technological lysed equipment such as this can never make human error however the reason why people think it isn't helping is because sometimes the decisions are too blatant to be truth and another reason is the fact that people haven't gotten used to it.</p><p>In my opinion the VAR has helped referees make better decisions and I don't think people should complain it doesn't help. Look at the rightly given penalty kick in the Nigeria game vs South Africa in the just concluded afcon , the referee already made the decision of letting it go but the video assistant referee rightly made the decision and because of that South Africa had the penalty awarded to them so I think basically the assistant referee is making the right call and so far it has helped but I think people are not really looking at this</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pk5svz5ap","appParentAuthor":"maxwellnewlife7","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
