James Milner has spoken of his displeasure in the Video Assistant Referee describing it as ‘ruining atmospheres”.
The technology was employed to assist in events of clear and obvious errors, which include goals, penalty incidents, direct red card incidents and mistaken identity.
Lots of controversies has evolved in the technology’s introduction which has so far been featured in 100 Premier League games with managers and players sharing diverse views about choices made by referees in connection with VAR.
The Liverpool player in an interview with the Guardian endorsed the Goal Line technology for its decisive impact admitting in his autobiography that he hates VAR.
"Goal-line technology is incredible. Instant decision. Black and white.
"But it's very hard to use VAR when you've still got opinions on the decisions and the atmosphere is being ruined."
"It might just be the old-school part of me but I think there's still too much debate around VAR. You score, there's an explosion of noise and then it's VAR. You wait. Is it a goal?"
VARs have overturned 26 decisions in the first 100 Premier League games and checked more than 600 incidents including Liverpool’s last minute penalty through which Milner scored a late winner for the Reds against Leicester.
"That was a new experience as they're debating if it's going to be a penalty. I think there's use for it - if we can improve it," the former Manchester City player added.
"But football is a game of human error on the field and in officiating as well. They have a very tough job and I'm all for making their lives easier - but not at the expense of the flow of the game"
"If the VAR took away controversy I'd back it 100 per cent. But we're still having discussions about VAR. I don't think many footballers feel differently."
