Wolves have been on the end of four rough decisions this term and O\u2019Neil held talks with referees\u2019 boss Howard Webb last Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve given some of my ideas to Howard, whether he wanted them or takes them or not,\u2019 said Wolves head coach O\u2019Neil. \u2018The \u2018clear and obvious\u2019 requirement makes it harder for the people operating VAR.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It shouldn\u2019t need to be clear and obvious. The VAR officials are probably thinking \u2018We don\u2019t think it\u2019s a penalty but also it\u2019s not a clear and obvious mistake so we\u2019ll leave it.\u2019 That\u2019s not the right solution.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The person in the hub should be able to overrule it after watching replays. We\u2019ve probably had four decisions go against us that shouldn\u2019t have done. That\u2019s a lot in 11 games but we also have to understand we can be unlucky.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/10\/15\/77656199-12735011-image-a-37_1699630738560.jpg\" height=\"444\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Wolves head coach Gary O&#8217;Neil has called on VAR chiefs to scrap the \u2018clear and obvious\u2019 ruling<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/10\/15\/77656209-12735011-image-a-38_1699630771337.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Neil claims that Wolves have had four decisions go against them so far this season<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Neil also revealed that the adjudication team who review the previous weekend\u2019s contentious decisions had determined that the stoppage-time penalty that helped Sheffield United beat Wolves last Saturday should not have been awarded.<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League\u2019s five-strong \u2018Key Match Incidents\u2019 panel found unanimously in Wolves\u2019 favour \u2013 not that this is of any help to O\u2019Neil. \u2018All five of them recognised the decision was incorrect,\u2019 he added. \u2018Let\u2019s hope they can recognise the next one in a live situation, before the Tuesday review.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12735011\/Wolves-head-coach-Gary-ONeil-calls-VAR-chiefs-SCRAP-clear-obvious-rule-claiming-not-right-solution-leads-bad-decisions-video-officials.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wolves head coach Gary O&#8217;Neil calls for VAR chiefs to SCRAP the &#8216;clear and obvious&#8217;
