‘All parties should have an influential input into how VAR goes forward,’ says Allardyce. (AP pic)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

LONDON: West Bromwich Albion manager Sam Allardyce said the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system needs to be overhauled after his team were controversially denied a goal in Monday’s 3-0 Premier League victory over Southampton.<\/p>\n

West Brom’s Mbaye Diagne thought he had scored the opener in the fourth minute but his header was ruled out for offside. The VAR system was unable to draw a conclusion and stuck with the on-field decision.<\/p>\n

Asked by reporters if he thought the system was in danger of becoming a laughing stock, Allardyce said: “I’m afraid so.<\/p>\n

“The decision was wrong. We got the angle\u00a0\u2013<\/span> there are 16 cameras at least here and we got the angle clear on our screens\u00a0\u2013<\/span> they came to the wrong decision because of human error.”<\/p>\n

VAR was brought into the league last season, but it is unpopular with many top flight managers following a number of contentious calls, with growing concern about the time to make decisions and the precision with which offsides are judged.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Manchester United were furious after being denied a goal at Tottenham Hotspur following the intervention of VAR, with Scott McTominay deemed to have fouled Son Heung-min in the buildup.<\/p>\n

Allardyce said the input of all of the game’s stakeholders was required during a review of the system to prevent any further controversy.<\/p>\n

“The reflection on VAR can be done at the end of the season and all parties should have an influential input into how VAR goes forward,” Allardyce said.<\/p>\n

“That needs to be from the Professional Footballers’ Association, League Managers Association, Premier League and the Football Association.<\/p>\n

“There are too many of us not being given an opportunity to express how to make it better.”<\/p>\n

West Brom are still deep in relegation trouble despite their second consecutive win\u00a0\u2013<\/span> they are 19th on 24 points, eight points from safety with seven games remaining\u00a0\u2013<\/span> and next travel to meet third-placed Leicester City on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
