West Ham Vice-Chairman Karren Brady has used her Sun column today to slam VAR and match officials.
The baroness highlighted the decision which saw a second player sent off incorrectly for the second time this season.
He pointed the finger at the Stockley Park mob, blinking in front of an array of screens and said the refereeing itself has been poor this season, possibly the worst she had ever witnessed in Premier League history.
Brady pointed out that six out of West Ham’s seven of our more recent appeals have been accepted, although four of those were pre-VAR, facts which imply that things are no better and no worse than they were.
She concluded that VAR’s influence is now so great that 108 penalties have been awarded while West Ham has had only been awarded a measly three.
Football isn’t about justice, we know. But neither is trial by television she adds.
