Could this be the future of VAR in English football?

Speculations about a possible change in the direction of VAR in English football have surfaced online following the recent event in the Tottenham vs Liverpool Carabao Cup fixture played on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

Stuart Attwell made history on Wednesday night by becoming the first referee in English football to communicate a VAR decision directly to fans. This milestone occurred during the Carabao Cup semi-final clash between Tottenham and Liverpool, where Attwell used the stadium’s PA system to explain a crucial offside ruling.
