Leeds Boss Drops Bombshell VAR Claim in Ipswich Town Promotion…
Daniel Farke, the manager of Leeds United, feels that if VAR had been used in the Championship, his team would have advanced automatically to the Premier League.
The Whites finished the season with 90 points, but were beaten by Leicester City and Ipswich Town, who finished with 97 and 96 points, respectively, to place them in the top two. Leeds was now set to play Norwich City, the bitterest rivals of the Blues, after yesterday afternoon’s goalless first leg at Carrow Road.
When Junior Firpo put the ball in the net in the 31st minute, Georginio Rutter was called for offside during the build-up, which infuriated Farke and his team.
As a result, the German said that any doubt about a decision should see the attacking team favoured, adding that he’s had numerous apologies from referees for incidents that occurred during the regular season which has caused his side to miss out on automatic promotion.
The German stated that the offensive team should be given preference in cases when there is any uncertainty about the decision. He also mentioned that he has received multiple apologies from referees over incidents that happened during the regular season and prevented his team from receiving automatic promotion.
After the game, he commented, “I have already received 12 apologetic letters from home this season regarding offside goals and penalties that were not given.” We wouldn’t be in the playoffs if VAR had been utilized this season. We would have received automatic promotions.
“I still find the offside situation [vs Norwich] pretty annoying,” someone said to me. “Sky showed a picture they claimed was evidence that it was offside.”
I advise everyone to check out the scouting feed, as it has a proper line and wasn’t off-limits. Additionally, we have a rule that says to always favor the attacking team when in doubt. It appears as though this regulation is no longer in effect.
We’re competing at the highest level, so little things count. Here, it alters the entire scene. “Everyone talks about Wembley, the £100 million match, where every choice needs to be perfect.
“I anticipate that both my players and I will make the right judgments during these games. I apologize, but you must do the same if you wish to control such a game.”
All is at stake in the second legs of the play-off match, which take place later this week, after West Brom held Southampton to a scoreless draw at the Hawthorns.
