""The last one was a clear mistake [at Bournemouth], which I was booked for. How on earth I get booked for an actual mistake, proven, is bizarre. Then today I just can't understand it. You're an assistant referee, you're 70-odd yards away, you've got a goal and a net in the way, but apparently you can see. I've got a better view and I'm not in the right position, so that's got to be wrong in the current climate.""
""The thing that annoys me the most, and I'm a big fan of VAR, is that someone's got to have to overrule these decisions, just really quickly," Dyche added. "That'll be five seconds. "You just go 'that's in play' but they whack it in and score a goal two weeks on the trot. "Now, of course you can say 'well, you've got to deal with the corner' but the point is it shouldn't even be that, so that's really difficult.""
Sean Dyche demanded that VAR be permitted to intervene when a corner is wrongly awarded after Manchester United took the lead at Nottingham Forest. Casemiro scored from a corner given despite Nicolò Savona appearing to keep the ball in play. Dyche pointed out this followed a similar costly officiating error the previous week at Bournemouth. Current laws prevent VAR from overturning a corner awarded instead of a goal-kick. Dyche urged a rapid overruling mechanism, arguing officials could correct the call within seconds and expressed frustration at assistant referees' positioning.
