 | Barton calls for an end to VAR: Freeze frames of cut-off moments and playback from 8 angles at half speed turn every controversial episode into a crime scene17-05-2026 |
Joey Barton has criticized the VAR system. Former Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton believes the introduction of VAR has had a negative impact on football.
The ex-footballer appreciated the refereeing in the Chelsea-Arsenal match in the 13th round of the Premier League. The game was officiated by a team of referees led by Anthony Taylor.
The game is completely gone. Freeze frames with moments of joints and their playback from 8 different angles at half speed turn each controversial episode into a crime scene.
Football is a contact sport. And not a casting for the position of traffic controllers with whistles. The physicality that made the game great is now negated by referees who know the rules better than they feel the rhythm of the match.
Anthony Taylor didn`t run this game, he stifled it. The tone of the game was lost as soon as he waved his yellow card for the first time - and only five minutes had passed. From that moment on, everything turned into theater, not football. “If this is modern refereeing, then the soul of football has already left the stadium, ” Barton wrote, adding the hashtag Get Rid of VAR.
