Moroka Swallows FC coach, Dylan Kerr has come out to claim that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) is killing football in the world. This is coming after it disallowed what appeared to be a clean goal scored by Guinea-Bissau in their 1-0 Africa Cup of Nations defeat against Egypt on Saturday.
According to him, Guinea-Bissau scored a legitimate goal vs Egypt and he cannot understand why the officials will allow themselves to ensure it did not stand.
He added that VAR has clearly failed at AFCON, the EPL and also in the UEFA Champions League.
His words, “VAR is shocking.”
“Guinea-Bissau scored a legitimate goal, it was a clear goal and this whole VAR thing is a complete joke at the Afcon, at Premier League, Fifa, and even at Uefa world football.”
“You have killed football and I don’t care how much money football is worth greedy owners have killed this game.”
“Yes there was nothing wrong it was a 50/50 football tussle of strength and again VAR gets it wrong.”
“In my opinion, they don’t get it right they’re making worse decisions than the referee. It’s supposed to help the game but more than ever the referral is wrong.”
“Football is a competitive game. I’m sorry I grew up when football was all about the game not about money. A goal is scored and we have to wait to see if it’s a goal if it will count, or it is off?”
“We have four officials in every match, let them do their job.”
