Clement calls absence of VAR in Championship 'crazy

Norwich City head coach Philippe Clement expressed his frustration over the lack of VAR in the Championship during a press conference on August 21. His comments follow a controversial match where Norwich lost to West Bromwich Albion, with a handball goal raising questions about officiating standards. Clement noted that 81 leagues globally use the technology, emphasizing the risk of losing points due to incorrect decisions. The Football Association recently banned West Brom's Aune Heggebo for two matches for deceiving match officials in the same incident. Despite discussions, Championship clubs rejected the introduction of VAR for the upcoming season.
