REFEREES in the Championship arguably the biggest league in the world not using VAR - got over 85 per cent of key decisions correct this season according to an independent panel.
Referees got 85 per cent of key decisions 'correct'

Data released to the PA news agency shows 85.6 per cent of decisions reviewed by the EFL's Key Match Incidents (KMI) panel in the regular Championship campaign were correct 1,363 out of 1,592, with 229 deemed incorrect.

The release of the statistics comes in the week Wolves have called for a vote to scrap VAR in the Premier League.

The Premier League responded to Wolves' statement by saying it fully supports the continued use of VAR and is working on ways to further improve it. The league points out that this season 96 per cent of key match decisions were correct, compared to 82 per cent in 2018-19, the last season before VAR's introduction to the top flight.

The current campaign is the first where a KMI panel has convened in the Championship, and the data arguably gives an indication of what the level of correct calls in the Premier League might look like if VAR was removed.

The average KMI net score for Championship clubs the number of key decisions which went in a club's favour set against the number which went against them - is zero.
