Not sure this can be considered a VAR howler. I'd agree it's a mistake. Not every mistake has to be a howler.Add it to the season list of VAR howlers if there is any space left.
Very little, it is just to appease the public. I don't see their decisions with any credibility when they have zero qualifications in the LoTG.What actual good does the KMI panel achieve? Just headlines that in the opinion of five anonymous people, a subjective decision/error was made, why does their opinion have any more bearing than mine or the bloke down the pub?
The specialist skills of the panel can be used to advise & assist PGMO in future decision making, but I do have a beef with the five person panel can’t agree amongst themselves that it is an error but still it is recorded as a ‘categorical error’.
3-2 referee error, 3-2 VAR was correct not to recommend review

Narrator: It did not make it onto the Mic'd up show.Bet this one doesn't make it onto the Mic'd Up show either!

There would have been more value in seeing this incident discussed than a couple of the selected incidents.
I think we do need that, or I think the wider football public would misinterpret things. Also, there could be a good reason why any individual clip can't be used. These officials could very easily say something unprofessional in the moment or not strictly correct in law... then that audio can't be put out to the public because PGMO wouldn't live it down.Would be better if they do the review show in such a way that they can show more incidents? We really don't need on every show Owen explaining who is speaking and when the ref is speaking, we also don't fully need Owen faffing around on the touchscreen either.
