“For me, we need VAR but we need to do it a damn sight better than we’re doing it at the minute.” Webb broke his silence on the recent VAR controversies in the latest Match Officials Mic’d Up programme and admitted that talks are being held over a possible rule change that would allow a wrong decision to be corrected during the game
“The VAR and AVAR asked themselves that question [about revising their decision],” Webb said. “After the penny had dropped 20 seconds had passed but they recognised that laws of game doesn’t allow that [change]. We have [that] system in place to make sure VAR used is consistently.
“I know that IFAB were going to do full review of all rules for VAR. Now we have lived experience that can feed into that and IFAB can look at whether it can be tweaked. I am sure they will look at this as well.”
