Palace owner Steve Parish has interviewed with BBC Sport and said “I don’t think the VAR system is right, I think it’s broken. It needs to improve massively.” Parish is not the only one with these sentiments – former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry also voiced his concerns about the VAR system after their defeat to Manchester United last weekend.
When it comes to sports, there is a lot of excitement and suspense that comes along with live events. Sadly, some of that excitement can be ruined by poor officiating. In recent weeks, there have been a number of high-profile incidents where incorrect calls have led to major upset and controversy. One such incident occurred on Sunday night when Crystal Palace faced Manchester United in the Premier League.
