  • Sports media rights executive David Kogan is named as the government's preferred choice as chair of the English football's new independent regulator.

The article from BBC Sport discusses the ongoing debate about the use of Video Assistant Referees (VAR) in football, focusing on the recent controversy involving Liverpool's disallowed goal against Tottenham. The piece highlights the confusion and frustration among fans and players due to the lack of transparency in VAR decisions, exemplified by the incorrect offside call on Luis Diaz's goal. It also mentions the broader issues with VAR, including the time taken for decisions and the impact on the game's flow. The article references the upcoming annual meeting of the International Football Association Board (Ifab) where potential changes to VAR protocols, such as the introduction of semi-automated offside technology and live announcements of VAR decisions, will be discussed. Additionally, it touches on the sentiments of football managers like Jurgen Klopp and Ange Postecoglou, who have expressed their dissatisfaction with the current system.
