"As soon as we make a mistake, everyone immediately talk about bias. Of course, there are different moments, but we have such a level. Of course, if the referees err in one direction, then, of course, it is alarming. Even if there is a VAR, they are afraid to make a decision because they know the score will be undervalued if anything happens.

I do not think that if Luciano Lucchi, the head of the UAF Referees' Committee, were in place, it would be worse. We would give freedom to the person, our specialists can also work, they understand football.

The level of refereeing became higher with the advent of VAR in our championship. I would like this system to work on a greater number of matches. Not only in the top games, but also in the ones which are struggling for survival. Then there will be no questions. There are errors in every game, but VAR helps correct them. There is time to make adjustments," Getsko was quoted as saying by Vesti.ua.

    Наши судьи, Ванюша, не боятся даже вопреки VARу принимать "нужные" решения.
