The VAR who awarded Paris Saint-Germain's controversial injury time penalty against Newcastle United in the UEFA Champions League has been removed from duty by UEFA on a game on Wednesday night.
I think the ex footballers themselves should stand up. Give them a proper referee training so they can sit in the VAR booth. With all their football experience they are better capable to make decisions than these guys who have never kicked a ball. Of course you’re not gonna see the starplayer multi miljonair ex player doing this but there must be a ton of ex players looking for a job that they know all about.
I highly doubt the great minds of Paul Merson and John Hartson would improve the officiating. Some footballers are thick as fuck and know little of the sport they played for nearly 2 decades.
