Referees will end up like bus drivers who don&#8217;t get to drive the bus&#8230;<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>There was more VAR controversy and complaining about referees this week<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>If the current pattern continues, referees will soon have no authority at all<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>CHRIS SUTTON: Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is a CLOWN &#8211; It&#8217;s All Kicking Off<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another round of Premier League games, another round of bitching and moaning about referees and VAR.<\/p>\n<p>But amid all the noise don\u2019t forget that this is what people wanted. They wouldn\u2019t stop their complaining or excessive scrutiny of every decision, they wouldn\u2019t stop whining and wailing about every error and this is the result.\u00a0Digital technology assisting referees \u2014 or perhaps inhibiting them and giving them a free pass to abdicate responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Managers, players, pundits and fans were so critical of officials\u2019 mistakes that they were ultimately responsible for forcing VAR on the game, but they\u2019re still not happy.<\/p>\n<p>The irony is that VAR has created even more vitriol and disdain for officials. All of a sudden, people\u2019s rage has moved from not accepting officials\u2019 decisions on the pitch to not accepting officials\u2019 decisions off the pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, digital technology has opened up more scope to re-evaluate various different conundrums, as we saw with Newcastle\u2019s goal against Arsenal at the weekend and Cristian Romero\u2019s red card and the subsequent Chelsea penalty at Tottenham on Monday. It\u2019s the law of unintended consequences.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/17\/77565437-12725965-image-a-4_1699463859755.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Newcastle and Arsenal players surrounded the referee after the Magpies&#8217; controversial winner on Saturday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/17\/77565365-12725965-image-a-5_1699463891256.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mikel Arteta labelled the decision to award the goal &#8216;a disgrace&#8217; after the match<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/17\/77564769-12725965-image-a-6_1699463927063.jpg\" height=\"408\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Referee Michael Oliver was then put under immense pressure during Tottenham&#8217;s match with Chelsea on Monday as he sent off two Spurs players<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>I was sympathetic towards Michael Oliver during that chaotic Spurs versus Chelsea game. He was powerless, waiting for someone to impart some wisdom to him.<\/p>\n<p>This current methodology cannot go on as it only leads to paralysis by analysis. The countless stoppages took too long to resolve and left fans at the stadium in the dark. But if a time limit was imposed, the argument would be that officials do not have enough time to make the correct call. They can\u2019t win.<\/p>\n<p>VAR was brought in to fix a problem, created in large part by the protagonists in the game, to help referees and reduce this endless decrying, demeaning, diminishing and questioning of them.<\/p>\n<p>There was a belief that VAR would be a panacea where every decision would be correct, but it has compounded the problem and created bigger issues for officials, because now they\u2019re expected to get every decision spot on. No-one cares about the 99 decisions they get right, but if they make one mistake they\u2019re bombarded with abuse.<\/p>\n<p>I have always been a firm advocate for VAR, but mischaracterisation of what it would achieve has led us to the point where there is even greater controversy.<\/p>\n<p>It really should have been implemented in a far more pragmatic way. It should have been made clear that this is first-generation technology and there are going to be mistakes but, ultimately, it will advance the game.<\/p>\n<p>The attitude from officials should have been to evolve quickly, embrace the next generation of technology and bring people with them. The messaging should have been clearer and expectations of what could be achieved should have been managed better. For whatever reason, none of those things happened and we are left with the mess we find ourselves in.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure the game\u2019s great thinkers (whoever they may be) gave due consideration to the challenges of VAR, but they cannot have envisaged this. The current operation is like a gaggle of traffic wardens looking at a bunch of TV screens in between putting the kettle on. It\u2019s not good enough.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/17\/77565695-12725965-image-a-7_1699464000511.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>VAR was brought in to make sure decisions are correct, but has just led to more debate<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/17\/77565313-12725965-image-m-9_1699464046786.jpg\" height=\"400\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport columnist Simon Jordan is an advocate of VAR, but is concerned by the way it is being implemented at the moment<\/p>\n<p>Now that football is embracing the digital era we need proper, schooled video analysis expertise. If we want medical scans analysed, we send them to a radiologist, not a substitute biology teacher.<\/p>\n<p>I have always found this jumpers-for-goalposts attitude in football ridiculous. We\u2019re talking about the biggest, most popular sport in the world and technology is something we should embrace. Every other sport utilises technology, so why not football?<\/p>\n<p>The industry must remember it is in the entertainment business and that it has to bring its audience with it.<\/p>\n<p>My natural inclination is to retain some of the behind-the-curtain Wizard of Oz mythology, but now we have opened the Pandora\u2019s box of digital tricks, we need to involve the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Make VAR a feature of the broadcast. Put managers and players into the VAR suite and turn it into a new frontier of opportunity, as well as providing better insight and outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Statistically, VAR has ensured more correct decisions are made but that\u2019s still not enough for some. Sadly, we seem to allow feelings to trump certain educated analysis these days.<\/p>\n<p>The answer then is for the game to go fully automated and, in time, that will be the inevitable outcome from all of this. Automated offsides and sensors all around the pitch, in the ball, on players\u2019 shirts, everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>If we want to achieve perfection we need the game to become fully automated, but if we\u2019re not prepared to go that far then we must revert back to some sort of parallel universe where the referee makes on-field calls without technological help and everyone respects them.<\/p>\n<p>We have this hokey-cokey situation where we\u2019re half in, half out, but you\u2019ve got to go all in. Now the door has been opened, the only way to close it is by fully embracing technology.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/17\/77565907-12725965-image-a-18_1699464276981.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>If we are not willing to fully automated, referees must be given some authority back to start making decisions and standing by them<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/17\/77565993-12725965-image-a-19_1699464401193.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>We must be careful what we wish for, as players and managers would still find a way to complain even if every decision became automated<\/p>\n<p>This is why people in football should be careful what they wish for. We\u2019ve had Elon Musk recently telling anyone who will listen that artificial intelligence will put everyone out of jobs and it won\u2019t be long before AI runs our game too if we carry on down this road. Referees will be like bus drivers who don\u2019t actually drive the bus, they just make sure the passengers are sitting properly.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if we did end up with technology adjudicating every aspect of the game, managers would no doubt complain about whoever programmed the bloody computers!<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not a messenger boy for referees and the PGMOL \u2014 remember, I called for the Stockley Park fool to be fired after the Tottenham- Liverpool debacle.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m no apologist, but this is a circle that can never be squared unless we\u2019re going to go the whole hog and make the game fully automated.<\/p>\n<h2>I&#8217;d like to see a female manager in the men&#8217;s game&#8230; but we&#8217;re not there yet<\/h2>\n<p>News of Emma Hayes\u2019 departure from Chelsea at the end of the season has reignited the frankly needless debate about whether a female manager should be given an opportunity in the men\u2019s game. It\u2019s certainly something we\u2019re building towards and I envisage a day when it becomes reality, but we\u2019re not there yet.<\/p>\n<p>The prospect shouldn\u2019t be met with resistance by men who feel challenged by it, but the counter-argument is that too many times in society people have been trying to lever people into jobs on the back of foisting an agenda on everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Emma has done very well in the space and level she\u2019s working in. She\u2019s operated with the best in class and her outcomes have been best in class, but that doesn\u2019t mean it will translate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The dynamic of managing in constant full stadiums, with febrile atmospheres, huge expectations, scant tolerance and broadcast audiences around the world are very different to what managers in the women\u2019s game have experienced.<\/p>\n<p>People will say coaching is coaching but the manner in which you communicate with people, the manner in which people can relate to you, interact with you and the pressure, exposure and attention the men\u2019s game garners is very different.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/17\/77566017-12725965-image-a-20_1699464509262.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Emma Hayes is set to leave Chelsea at the end of the season, sparking debate about whether she deserves an opportunity in the men&#8217;s game<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/08\/17\/77566057-12725965-image-a-21_1699464584817.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England boss Sarina Wiegman has also been linked with making the switch, but it seems wrong for the men&#8217;s game to pinch the best coaches the women&#8217;s game has to offer<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a false equivalence to suggest a woman can just take her coaching skills into the men\u2019s environment. If you\u2019re able to manage in League One, it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re able to manage in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>There has been talk in the past about the Lionesses manager Sarina Wiegman moving across to the men\u2019s game, but why does she need to be taken out of the women\u2019s game? It needs to be developed and enhanced. If we really want to grow the women\u2019s game, it doesn\u2019t seem right that the men\u2019s game would just come along and pinch the best they have to offer.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t like having Phil Neville or Mark Sampson as manager of the England women\u2019s team, either. As the women\u2019s game grows, the people within it should be the people it represents.<\/p>\n<p>If there were a female manager that was good enough then I would like to see it one day but someone\u2019s got to be prepared to do it for the right reasons and not for political expediency or correctness.
