Premier League clubs are set to hold a vote at their annual general meeting next month on a proposal to abolish the video assistant referee (VAR) system from the start of next season. A Wolves statement said the move came “after careful consideration and with the utmost respect for the Premier League, (referees body) PGMOL and our fellow competitors. “However, after five seasons of VAR in the Premier League, it is time for a constructive and critical debate on its future. GO DEEPER Should Premier League clubs vote to scrap VAR? Has VAR worked in the Premier League?

☆ Champions League: Mats Hummels rages at ‘joke of a penalty’ in Borussia Dortmund’s draw with PSV

CNN —Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels was left raging at what he called “a joke of a penalty” after the team’s 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. With Malik Tillman advancing into the box, Hummels slid in and clearly won the ball before following through on the attacker. However, referee Srđan Jovanović immediately pointed to the spot and Luuk de Jong stepped up and confidently buried the penalty kick. I cannot believe there can be decisions like today or against Chelsea or PSG with the VAR,” Hummels posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, after the match. They might as well give the referee that’s made the decision the opportunity to make the right decision anyway in his opinion.

☆ Liverpool VAR: The ‘monumental error’ that put English soccer in crisis mode

Marc Atkins/Getty ImagesAt the heart of this is a failure in communication by match officials and a failure to put pragmatism before protocol. There is an acceptance that mistakes will happen, and there have been plenty already this season in the Premier League. The release of the audio of the conversations between the match officials would likely influence what Liverpool does next. In rugby union, fans can listen to discussions between match officials on crucial decisions, making the process clear and open for all. The immediate consequence has been that VAR officials England and Cook have not been selected to feature in this weekend’s Premier League games.

☆ Wine to Drink in a Restaurant vs. Wine to Drink at Home: Why the Divide?
  + stars: | 2022-11-23 | by ( Lettie Teague | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
SHELF GAME You loved that wine your sommelier recommended, but would you have passed it by in a store? WHILE DINING at Terzo restaurant in Minneapolis last month, I ordered a bottle of wine with a cheap-looking label—one so ugly I might have bypassed it in a store. I mentioned this to Terzo’s wine director and co-owner, Charlie Broder, when he presented the bottle. He told me that he and his friend Peter Vars, manager and wine buyer of the local store Thomas Liquors & Fine Wines, talk about such matters a lot. Sometimes Mr. Vars worries that wines Mr. Broder can easily sell wouldn’t look good on his store’s shelves.
☆ I've refereed World Cup soccer games. You have to avoid social media or it will ruin your life.

Mark Geiger is a former math teacher turned soccer referee who's presided over World Cup games. Doing under-eight matches back then, I never expected I'd be going to a World Cup. Since 2018, I've been the director of senior match referees, basically overseeing the MLS referees, assistant referees and video match officials. Before my very first World Cup match in Brazil in 2014, I asked myself: am I ready for this? There's always that little bit of nervousness going into each World Cup match because of the stage and the millions of people watching.
