In the 10th round of the Premier League, Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 with Manchester United. During the game, Nottingham Forest conceded a goal due to a misjudgment of a corner kick. According to TA reports, Forest will not appeal the penalty. At the same time, TA wrote a long article analyzing whether the Premier League's VAR mechanism should review referee decisions like cricket, tennis, and even Major League Soccer.

After the 2-2 draw with Manchester United, Nottingham Forest did not lodge a formal appeal. After the game, Dyche made an important point and urged a change in the use of VAR.

TA wrote in this article: "At least 28 cameras are used in the Premier League's complete video assistant referee (VAR) system. In many clubs, the number of VAR cameras is even more. VAR technology can now determine whether a player is offside in a split second. Why not use these technologies to make other fact-based, simple and clear decisions? ?"

"We're not talking about that nebulous gray area of whether there was enough contact in the area to award a penalty, or whether one player held on to another player's jersey for too long (even for a nanosecond). That's white. Did the ball go out of bounds or not?"

"There may be legitimate concerns that too many calls on the field need to be reviewed and reviewed by people sitting in front of the TV screen in the office to decide whether the referee's call is correct."

"But why not follow the example of other sports, such as cricket, etc. Tennis, and even Major League Soccer, allow for a certain number of calls to be reviewed."

"Even if each coach has the option to only ask for one replay per game, it's definitely worth taking a few extra seconds to make simple decisions that are right rather than wrong."
