FUTURE OF VAR

VAR stands for Video Assistant Referee and as the name suggest ,VAR is just the use of high speed cameras and other sophisticated gadgets to aid referees in making their jobs much easier than it is now .


VAR was approved in the year 2016 and has since been adopted by many major leagues in the world and by the accesment of match officials and FA officials it seems that VAR has a bright future in the world of football.
The use of VAR will make the game of Football more transparent than it is currently and situations of Referees abusing their power in the game will be reduced .


The reason why the  VAR has been in the background for far too long was because of people like Sepp Blatter and his corrupted folks .
Possibly they saw VAR as threat to their influence on the game . Fair play is the key to success of football and its quite ironic that FIFA has been preaching about fair play but had never done anything to  substantiate the achievement of this task.


The English FA just gave a pass to VAR as  Chief Executive Martin Glenn gave his full endorsement after the VAR proved it's worth in Monday's FA cup clash between Brighton and Crystal Palace .
After initial suggestions of a handball, Glenn Murray’s late winning goal was reviewed and approved by Neil Swarbrick from a control room at the Premier League Match Center in west london

The next big thing for VAR is thegame between Chelsea and Arsenal on Wednesday , January 10 , 2017 at the Stamford Bridge.

APPIAH RETURNS

Ghana’s favourite son is back or should I say Kotoko’s star boy is back. Judging from the poor management of Ghana’s former coach - Avram Grant, It was imperative that Ghanaian fans will turn on him . Coach Avram Grant’s stay in Ghana as the head coach of the senior side and earning close to about 250,000 cedis was seen as greedy and wicked by ordinary citizens who hardly made any income in the supposedly corrupt Government, that was sent packing in the 2016 general elections. Avram Grant left the coaching position and the Country in the first week of February,2017 after repeated speculations that he was going to be fired within that month – could say he prevented a major career disgrace! Avram Grant will surely not be missed by Ghanaians in anyway ,but one person who’s exit from the senior national side was missed by most Ghanaians in the “Don of Grant”  was Ghana’s own James Kwesi Appiah ,who managed the senior side from 2012-2014 and went into the record books as the first G...
