For Blauwzwart it is important that this mistake does not remain without consequences, “not only in the interest of Club Brugge but also in the interest of the professionalization of Belgian football,” the West Flemish people write in an argument. “The Club can accept that a human error occurs on the field. However, in this case there is no question of a human error but a professional-technical error. The VAR was created to remove human errors from the match in match-determining phases, via technical aids. When the VAR makes such a match-defining error that cannot be interpreted, this must be regarded as a professional-technical error and, if necessary, the match must be replayed.”
Club also contacted the Competitions Manager of the Belgian Football Association (KBVB), “who informed us that no referee report was drawn up because there was no incident, which is fundamentally incorrect. Club Brugge continues to ask for communication to be to clear the VAR space as well as that between the VAR and the refereeing corps.”
