Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot was not sent off for a tackle on Manchester City forward Jeremy Doku last weekend, a decision that has since been ridiculed by fans, pundits and experts.
Last week, there was a five-minute delay in the Carabao Cup tie between Newcastle and Manchester City after semi-automated offside technology failed and was unable to locate the ball.
Countless errors have come about since the introduction of VAR, and many fans are desperate to go back to the days without it.
Despite this, The Mirror report that the International Football Association Board (IFAB) have decided to hand VAR even greater powers, with second yellow cards and corners now being involved in their decision-making.
The news of greater VAR powers is unlikely to be welcomed by supporters, but changes were backed at the body’s annual business meeting on Tuesday and fans have no say in what alterations will be made.
The BBC report that changes could come into effect from July 1st. They can apply earlier at the World Cup and by leagues which start new calendar-year seasons before this date as fans wait to see how these changes pan out.
