Wrexham co-owner Rob Mac underscored his frustrations with the video assistant referee during Saturday’s FA Cup defeat to Chelsea by reiterating the explicit chant delivered by his club’s fans: “F--- VAR.”
The upwardly mobile Welsh outfit pushed Chelsea all the way in a thrilling FA Cup fifth round tie in Wrexham. The hosts twice took the lead against the Blues before a VAR review saw George Dobson’s reckless challenge upgraded from a yellow card to red. The 10 men fell behind in extra time but it still required VAR to spot a marginal offside to deny Wrexham a dramatic equalizer.
