Civil war has broken out on these shores as managers and players fume at video technology on a weekly basis.
Mats Enquist reckons football could copy golf and consider a rollback on VAR as technology chaos tears apart the Scottish game.
“We had a decision here in the Euro Conference League when there was a free-kick outside the penalty box. “There was no doubt it was a free-kick, but then it was a VAR red card check. Looking from a slow motion perspective, it looked bad and he got the red card. But I started thinking, ‘How many situations on the pitch are equally the same?’ You could look at many tackles throughout the game and you could say 10 or 15 players would have been red carded.
Enquist said last night: “The discussion in golf right now is to have a rollback on the balls and to reduce their performance. Could you have the same discussion on a rollback with VAR? That’s interesting. I have been working with golf a lot. It’s a very conservative sport in the sense that any rule changes take years and years to discuss what the impact is to the sport and how it affects different aspects of the sport.
It’s not just managers and players that are irritated, but also fans. Sweden takes note of their supporters as, last year, Enquist explained: “You have to be able to implement it so you do not ruin the game itself. Opinion amongst the punters in Sweden hasn’t changed and their clubs are listening by telling them they do not want it. Enquist continued: “It is quite a big opinion against VAR with the elite clubs and the fans.
