# VAR and Transparency: Vincent Kompany’s Take on PGMOL
The use of Video Assistant Referees (VAR) in football has been a contentious topic since its introduction in the Premier League in 2019. The technology has been used to overturn incorrect decisions, but it has also been criticised for its lack of transparency. Recently, Burnley manager Vincent Kompany was asked about the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) and whether it should be more transparent in its decisions.
## VAR and Its Impact on Football
VAR was introduced to the Premier League in 2019 with the aim of improving the accuracy of refereeing decisions. The technology has been used to overturn incorrect decisions, such as offside calls, penalty decisions, and red cards. However, it has also been criticised for its lack of transparency.
Critics of VAR argue that the technology has had a negative impact on the game, as it has taken away some of the excitement and spontaneity of football. Furthermore, some argue that it has undermined the integrity of the game, as decisions are often made without any explanation or justification.
## Vincent Kompany’s Take on PGMOL
Burnley manager Vincent Kompany was recently asked about the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) and whether it should be more transparent in its decisions. Kompany said that officials are “doing the best they can” and that they are “not trying to hide anything”. He added that he believes the PGMOL is doing a good job and that it is important to remember that football is a “human game”.
Kompany’s comments come after a controversial incident involving VAR in Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 win over Liverpool on Saturday. In the match, VAR failed to overturn an incorrect decision to disallow a Luis Diaz goal for offside. This incident has led to calls for greater transparency from the PGMOL.
## Conclusion
VAR has had a significant impact on football since its introduction in 2019. While it has been used to overturn incorrect decisions, it has also been criticised for its lack of transparency. Recently, Burnley manager Vincent Kompany was asked about the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) and whether it should be more transparent in its decisions. Kompany said that officials are “doing the best they can” and that they are “not trying to hide anything”. He added that he believes the PGMOL is doing a good job and that it is important to remember that football is a “human game”. Ultimately, it remains to be seen whether the PGMOL will become more transparent in its decisions or if VAR will continue to be a source of controversy in football.
