Howard Webb, the chief of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), has expressed his opinion on the need for a rule change that would allow VAR to reverse decisions after mistakes. Webb also admitted that Mateo Kovacic was fortunate to avoid a red card during a match against Arsenal. Steps have been taken to prevent a repeat of the VAR error that occurred in a Liverpool game. Webb has stated that PGMOL would support a global review of VAR that could lead to adjustments. Ally McCoist, a football pundit, believes matches should never be stopped, regardless of VAR mistakes. There have been incidents involving VAR audio, including disallowed goals, handball penalties, and red cards. Eric Dier and Matt Doherty engaged in a social media debate about a penalty shout. The VAR show with Howard Webb covered the Luis Diaz offside incident, but it was suggested that it should have been a standalone episode. David Ornstein from The Athletic believes there are too many apologies for VAR decisions in the Premier League. Darren Ambrose and Hugh Woozencroft reacted to Webb's comments on VAR. Former Premier League striker Robert Earnshaw believes involving ex-players could improve VAR's decision-making process. Charlie Wyett from The Sun hopes automated offside decisions will be introduced in the Premier League. The use of in-stadium VAR announcements is set to be extended beyond FIFA events to provide a more transparent experience for spectators. Opposition from referees is the main obstacle to live broadcasting of discussions between VARs and match officials, but the issue is expected to be reconsidered by football's lawmakers. FA chief executive Mark Bullingham supports broadcasting the conversations, but referees are against it.

A few comments on last night's VAR show with Howard Webb. 1) The Luis Diaz offside had to be covered, but that meant it took over this show. There are "political" reasons against it in the background, but would have been better as a standalone. https://t.co/m4y9wd0p14
