Part 5/8:
The introduction of the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) system has been met with skepticism and criticism. Many believe that rather than improving the quality of officiating, VAR has detracted from the game by complicating decisions and placing too much responsibility on referees. It has created a scenario in which referees often defer decision-making to video reviews, making them less decisive in real-time. This has resulted in disjointed matches and continued instances of errors as the core issues in officiating remain unaddressed.
