We attract the best players and managers from around the world but don’t do the same for refs. Then we wonder why the officiating is much worse than the quality of players and coaches. The quality of the playing would be way worse without foreigners and quality of refereeing would improve with foreigners.
Agree or disagree?
Afraid I’m going to have to disagree here… Though we might be able to find common ground. My issue with players in VAR is that almost every pundit is a former player and they consistently come out with biased, inconsistent, and often objectively incorrect information.
Where I think there’s more scope to reflect your point is in giving ex players a role in IFAB’s development of the laws but I wouldn’t want them anywhere near VAR.
