Sean Dyche frustrated with VAR's pitch side monitor in Calvert-Lewin red card decision

Posted : 05 January 2024

Everton manager Sean Dyche expressed frustration with the use of the pitchside monitor by the video assistant referee (VAR) after Dominic Calvert-Lewin was sent off against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup third-round draw.

 

Calvert-Lewin received a red card for a challenge with Nathaniel Clyne, with Dyche arguing that the slow-motion replay presented a distorted view. Referee Chris Kavanagh initially took no action but, upon VAR intervention, showed the red card after reviewing the incident on the monitor. Dyche criticized the inconsistency and impact of VAR on the game.

 

Dyche questioned the purpose of the pitchside monitor, suggesting that its use is confusing and often results in the same outcome. He emphasized the need for consistency and expressed his overall support for VAR but acknowledged the ongoing challenges in refining its implementation.

 

The Everton captain, Seamus Coleman, echoed Dyche's sentiments, stating that decisions like Calvert-Lewin's red card are consistently going against his team. The frustration with VAR's impact on the game is shared among players and managers, with concerns about the interpretation of incidents based on slow-motion replays.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson viewed the red card decision as a product of the modern game, acknowledging differing opinions among those who played in different eras. He emphasized the subjective nature of such decisions and highlighted the evolution of refereeing standards.

 

Leicester City's Conor Coady and former Crystal Palace midfielder Jobi McAnuff also weighed in, with Coady expressing disagreement with the officials' decision and McAnuff criticizing VAR for potentially overanalyzing incidents and contributing to contentious outcomes in matches. The debate around VAR's impact on football continues, with calls for further refinement and clarity in its application.
