“This will certainly not become a trend”: Refereeing Department defends itself after extremely long VAR intervention during Standard-OHL | 11th match day JPL

Belgian footballJoao Klauss and co were there to drum with ref Kevin Van Damme, but he could only point to his ear. It took minutes. The crowd began to grumble. Armen went into the air questioningly and finally Van Damme’s arm went up for offside more than 7 minutes after the goal. That’s how long it took ref Jan Boterberg to disallow Dragus’ 3-0 from the VAR booth in Tubize, but according to the Refereeing Department there is no reason to panic.
