I can't stop thinking about VAR

In 2019, the English Premier League introduced the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), a way of using technology to review and correct the on-field referee's decisions. It has been an unmitigated disaster: players hate it, managers hate it, pundits line up to pour scorn on its decisions and fans have coined the chant 'it's not football any more' to describe its effect on the game. Almost every other sport in the world has managed to integrate technology into its decision-making process. So why is football failing so badly? Daisy Christodoulou examines the multiple issues of the great VAR fiasco.
