Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche has said that the VAR should start intervening when a corner is incorrectly awarded. He recently expressed his frustration at Manchester United’s controversial opening goal in a 2-2 draw with his side, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it will cost nothing for VAR to overrule wrong corner-kick decisions once they are spotted, so he wonders why the assistant referees never step in.
Dyche added that people might say teams have to just deal with the resulting corner, but it should not even be a corner in the first place.
His words, “Two weeks on the trot, which is bizarre in itself. Similar but different, obviously.
The last one was a clear mistake [at Bournemouth], which I was booked for. How on earth I get booked for an actual mistake, proven, is bizarre.
Then today I just can’t understand it. You’re an assistant referee, you’re 70-odd yards away, you’ve got a goal and a net in the way, but apparently you can see.
I’ve got a better view and I’m not in the right position, so that’s got to be wrong in the current climate.
The thing that annoys me the most, and I’m a big fan of VAR, is that someone’s got to have to overrule these decisions, just really quickly. That’ll be five seconds.
You just go ‘that’s in play’ but they whack it in and score a goal two weeks on the trot.
Now, of course you can say ‘well, you’ve got to deal with the corner’ but the point is it shouldn’t even be that, so that’s really difficult.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
