England boss Southgate hits out at VAR, says ‘I don’t like it’

The Hindu  

England coach Gareth Southgate says VAR has done nothing to resolve the issue of controversial refereeing decisions, admitting he has never liked the technology. I didn’t ever feel we were going to resolve every issue.” Southgate said there was unlikely to be a reversal in policy now that the system was in place. But yes, I don’t like it.” Southgate, preparing for a friendly against Australia and a Euro 2024 qualifier against reigning champions Italy, said he felt sorry for fans, who are often left waiting for minutes while decisions were scrutinised. “When I am at games I am always conscious that the only people who don’t know what is going on are the people who have paid to go,” he said.
