Max Rushden: “Do VARs have to be referees? They are different skills. How much would those in charge of it, the referees’ body PGMOL, benefit from hiring from a wider pool of people?” This is exactly correct. We have learned that even the best refs can be utterly incompetent at VAR, and apparently most of them hate doing it. Choose people with lower levels of physical fitness but better brains. ⚽️
