Postecoglou critical of current state of VAR

All the talk in the footballing world has surrounded Luiz Diaz’s controversially disallowed goal against Tottenham the past week.

On the eve of next week’s matchday Ange Postecoglou, whose team benefited from the entire saga, gave his thoughts on the situation.

The Spurs’ boss was highly critical of the system and said he would ideally ditch as it is not ready to be implemented into the game.

“I would, in its current form. I just don’t think that technology’s ready for our game.” Postecoglou said.

📌 "We're trying to make [referees] the stars of the show."
📌 "It was there for clear and obvious errors, it seems like everything now."

“I’ve got absolutely zero against goalline technology, that’s a no-brainer because that’s quite significant, but it works for our game,”

“I just think our game is unique and I know people say, ‘well, let’s get referees explaining their decisions’. Oh my God. Seriously? Could you imagine sitting there listening to a referee explain every decision on the game.”
