‘Wolves fans are sick of officials getting the big decisions wrong’

Wolves fans, as are most other fans in the league, are sick to the back teeth of Premier League officials constantly getting the big decisions wrong.

Another game week passes and it is the same old story.

Human error is part of the game and fans do not expect referees to get decisions right, in real time, every time.

The two latest shockers involving Wolves both looked like penalties in real time but thankfully, with VAR, we are able to take a look back at the decision with various different camera angles and speeds to either confirm the on-field decision is correct or to amend an error.

If only it was that simple.

Mistakes can be made but the technology is there to mitigate them. I think it’s time officials started using the VAR technology appropriately, for the better of the game rather than prioritising saving face for one of their colleagues.
