The video assistant referee needs to be "binned" according to Michail Antonio.
After VAR intervention, the Hammers were denied a 90th-minute tying goal.
The decision was accepted by the referees' body.
I will call it a madness. Antonio called it an actual madness.
He said this on the latest episode of the Footballer's FootballPodcast. It needs to be thrown away.
The premier league will review the incidents of last weekend.
The system has been in the premier league for four years. In the first season of the league, the percentage of correct key match decisions rose from 18% to 94%.
The purpose is for the VAR to flag "clear and obvious errors" or "serious missed incidents" to advise the on-field referee.
There is a high bar for intervention to maintain the pace and intensity of matches, and it is only used for goals, penalty decisions, straight red cards or mistaken identity.
After being told to look at the monitor by the VAR, Andrew Madley reversed his decision to award a goal to West Ham and they went on to win the game 4-2.
The decision to overturn the goal was called scandalous by the manager.
Antonio said that the incident was nothing.
Antonio said it was all about opinions, about the referee's opinion, about the fourth official's opinion and about the opinion of whoever is watching.
If the referee makes a decision, there is someone else who might not be the right one. He wants the referee to look at it again.
He is putting doubt in the referee's mind when he knows he made the correct decision.
It has clouded his mind already, because someone has already said to him you might have got that wrong.
The person who is meant to make a decision, who is quite sure of his decision, has now got that doubt and feels he needs to change if he is going to get into trouble.
It's pointless because you don't know if you've scored or not.
You are spending all this money for things to go wrong.
The goal was ruled out for a foul by Joe Willock on Vicente Guaita, after VAR intervention, after Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell turned the ball into his own net.
Willock was pushed by Mitchell into Guaita, according toNewcastle.
The VAR had a bad weekend, according to the footballer.
The game is more messy than it needs to be. It's good for technology that they are getting wrong. It is crazy when you deny a goal for a little tug or the ball hits your arm and then it flies in.
VAR should only be used for decisions that are clear and unambiguous.
You've got the decision wrong on the Saturday so it's not good to apologize on the Monday. We lost two points. Two points can be the difference between staying up and going down.
He said that it would not go away. I don't think they'll get rid of it, so we have to learn to use it properly.
