VAR taken to court

[Jammy89]

Belgium side Genk have won their appeal against a VAR error and their league match with Anderlecht will now be replayed.
Anderlecht won the game 2-1 in December. But Genk's Yira Sor saw his first-half goal ruled out after following up on Bryan Heynan's missed penalty.

Sor was penalised for encroachment, but two Anderlecht players were equally as guilty. This means the penalty should have been retaken rather than the goal simply ruled out.

Genk took their case to the Disciplinary Council for Professional Football, who ruled the match must be replayed.

This was in Belgium obviously but it sets an interesting precendent.

Can you imagine the carnage in the prem if all different clubs started taking VAR to court - season would never end.

Not a chance ducky. In fact your lot are more likely to be back down in the third tier again, and again, and again.

VAR should be challenged.

Mind, it's not the technology at fault, it's the absolute fucking morons with their various agendas and prejudices in charge who need to be challenged.

This is true. I still think the ‘clear and obvious error’ needs to be adhered to. Give VAR a maximum of 20 seconds to question the on field decision. If it can’t then it wasn’t a clear and obvious mistake (Jesus, one replay should be enough?), so let it go.
I would accept the odd wrong decision rather than wait minutes for the lines to be drawn to identify some, one cm offside decision, for example.
By having a 20 second rule it would encourage the adoption of new VAR technologies to make right decisions within the 20 seconds allowed.

Exactly this. The number of obvious errors made, by the officials which are glaring to the "untrained amateur supporters" is criminal.

As an easy one recently in our case where only one angle was shown to the ref. When the commentators analysed it, the situation was obvious, and the commentators jumped on it in real time. it wasn't being wise after the event.
