BAD REFEREEING IMPACTING ‘LIVELIHOODS & REPUTATIONS’ SAYS O’NEIL – Wolves boss Gary O’Neil speaks after 3-2 Fulham defeat
Wolves manager Gary O’Neil has said bad refereeing decisions are affecting “reputations” and “livelihoods” after his team was on the wrong end of video assistant referee calls in Monday’s 3-2 defeat at Fulham.
O’Neil said referee Michael Salisbury admitted the decision to award the first of two penalties against Wolves was an error, and believes four big decisions went against the visitors.
Speaking to reporters Gary O’Neil said “”Maybe tonight has finally turned me against VAR. The impact that you are having on my reputation, and the club and people’s livelihoods is massive. We should be able to talk about the game and not decisions, but unfortunately, we can’t. I think it is a really complex [issue]. I have always been for VAR but I think it is causing problems at the moment. I think VAR has cost us there.”
