A Quote by Steve Clarke

Everyone talks about VAR, which is great. It will help the referees no end. But if you've got VAR in place and VAR becomes the ref, I'm not sure that's good for the game.

One important measurement issue concerns the fat tails problem that I mentioned earlier. VAR is concerned with extreme outcomes. If the tails of the probability distributions we are using are too thin, our VAR measures are likely to be too low.

John Hull

We've all had meetings with the referees. We're all clear with how VAR works, and ultimately, you want the rules to be fair.

Steph Houghton

With VAR, the refereeing errors will be reduced, and therefore, we'll all be on equal terms. It will take a lot of the responsibility from the referees on vital decisions, like penalties and goals, and they will make far fewer mistakes.

Gerard Pique

VAR exposes everything. Before we didn't have the possibility of seeing some things that we now see. The referees are people who can be wrong as well.

Diego Simeone

Football is always a very emotional game, and VAR is changing that a bit.

Jan Vertonghen

Clearly, I'm for the VAR.

Thomas Tuchel

You can call me Mr. VAR.

Kelechi Iheanacho

We want to see goals and excitement but I am sorry to say that VAR is killing every part of that. You are losing the raw emotion of the game we absolutely love.
