Efter en hændelse i opgøret mellem Everton og Aston Villa er VAR igen kommet i fokus.

I det 18. minut scorede Alex Moreno for gæsterne, og i omkring fire minutter troede Aston Villa-backen, at han havde scoret sit andet mål i denne sæson.

Men målet skulle tjekkes igennem hos VAR.

Her skulle det tjekkes, om der var offside eller frispark i situationen, hvor det var offside-kendelsen, der først blev tjekket igennem.

Her kunne man hurtigt konstatere gennem tv-billederne, at der var offside ved situationen, men der gik stadig flere minutter, før kendelsen blev dømt. Se hændelsen i klippet øverst i artiklen.

Det har fået flere fans og journalister til at revse anvendelsen af VAR, når så tydelig en kendelse skal tage adskillige minutter.

Journalisten Ian Cheeseman mener, at VAR suger alle følelser ud af spillet:

I’m sorry but VAR is ruining the beautiful game. I know City fans will be happy Villa’s goal was disallowed after a four minute delay but that is just another example of how the emotion is being sucked out of the game.

Og han er langt fra den eneste med den holdning:

Saw there was a VAR check so thought it would be an ideal time to walk the dog. They were still looking at it after we got back…. slight exaggeration but, I mean, really? So bored with it.

How did that take 3 minutes? I could’ve told you it was offside after one look. So slow.

Why does VAR Take so long? It was a clear offside #Everton #AstonVilla

The amount of time it takes VAR to have a look at things is ruining football.

I want the right decision to be made, but if it takes over four minutes to check an offside then it needs to go in the bin. #avfc | #utv | #vtid

ESPN-dommerekspert, Dale Johnson, er også i chok over, at kendelsen tog så lang tid:

That took a ludicrous amount of time. It was a clear offside.

Også fansene på Goodison Park var utilfredse:

Aston Villa and Everton fans singing "VAR is f****** s***" after it takes four minutes to disallow Moreno's goal.
