Even if VAR have access to the broadcaster commentary (and I don't know that they do because why would they?) they surely have better things to do in the limited time they have than listen to it.Did you know that VAR have access to the sky sports commentary. These are Gary Neville’s words during the review:
Gary Neville called it a “mad challenge” and “mayhem” in commentary for the game’s UK broadcaster Sky Sports, and it is hard to disagree.
“Trust me, as a defender, that is not a natural follow-through,” former Manchester United and England full-back Neville added. “He knows what he’s doing.”
Now surely that can’t be helpful and must sway the video referees. I wouldn’t mind hearing the audio of this one and whether their comments mirror Neville’s.
