The head coach of Kovalivka’s “Koloss”, Oleksandr Pozdiev, commenting on his team’s loss to Rivne’s “Veres” (1:2) in yesterday’s match of the 19th round of the Ukrainian championship, touched on the topic of refereeing.

But personally, I feel a big difference between when girls are refereeing and when they’re not. And this specifically applies to this crew (main referee — Anastasia Romaniuk, assistants — Marina Striletska, Svitlana Hrushko, — ed. note).
To watch VAR for five minutes — find another such game in the championship. Well, taking so long to make a decision — it disrupts the tempo of the game, everything falls apart. Because football is about dynamics. Perhaps there are reasons to refer to VAR — but make decisions faster!” — quotes Pozdiev the official website of “Veres”.
