According to a top official of the football framing body, the video assistant referee (WAR) should be used to change only those decisions on the field in which the mistake is clear and obvious. This season has been highly controversial since being implemented in the English Premier League. In this, the biggest concern has been raised about 'offside' decisions. The goals of Norwich, Brighton, Sheffield United, Wolves, Brighton and Crystal Palace were all disqualified last weekend due to minor mistakes made by 'Var'.

After this, it was feared that the available technology is accurate to pass judgment on small mistakes. Players and managers have also raised questions on whether this system should be used to reverse the field decisions that seem right with an open eye. The idea is also endorsed by Lucas Brood, the general secretary of the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the apex body that rules the game. Braud did not mention any specific incident of English football but said that the IFAB guidelines clearly stated that the blow should be used only for obvious errors and the same applies to the off side.

Lucas Braud, General Secretary IFAB has said that 'time should not be wasted for small mistakes. If you take several minutes to find out whether it is off-side or not, then it is not clear and obvious and the original decision should remain.
