[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, the Spanish Referee Technical Committee (CTA) has established a strict new regulation for this season: “If VAR corrects the referee’s decision twice during a match, that referee will be penalized.” This measure indicates that the threshold for VAR intervention has been set very high. The reason behind this policy is that the current CTA does not want VAR to be overly involved. The aim is to allow referees to make key decisions independently on the pitch without external assistance. In fact, if a referee directly issues a red card without VAR review, it is seen as a very positive action. For example, the decision by Diaz de Mera in the match between Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid against Pat Sith serves as an illustration. Conversely, if a referee initially shows a yellow card and then VAR corrects it to a red card, it is viewed as a mistake, and two such errors will lead to the referee being suspended. The direct consequence of this rule is that “VAR referees will not intervene lightly, knowing that doing so would penalize the on-field referee.” This situation, described by the program as “very serious,” could lead to the intention to protect colleagues outweighing the need to correct obvious mistakes, as the system rewards non-interference.
