‘They’re not up to it.’ The Manchester derby was dominated by officiating that once again became the focal point of the game instead of the football on show. A 1-0 win for Manchester City felt inconsequential in the face of another VAR apology issued by Pro Ref, who admitted that the on-field decision of offside was the correct decision after VAR overturned the initial decision to allow Erling Haaland to open the scoring. Pro Ref retrospectively agreed that the attempt of a diving header by Enzo Fernandez was interfering with play and should have therefore been branded as offside. It’s left the Football Weekly panel pondering whether the current crop of referees are equipped to use the tools at their disposal in the face of intense scrutiny and split-second decision making. #manchesterunited #var #premierleague #football #soccer
