Simon Jordan delivers VAR in the Championship verdict amid Tim Walter's Hull City complaints

Tim Walter has been a staunch advocate of the introduction of VAR in the Championship from early on in his tenure at Hull City, and he's received support from Simon Jordan.

The former Crystal Palace owner, who is a co-host on talkSPORT, believes it's 'preposterous' that the technology isn't used in the second tier, something which has left Walter a tad perplexed coming from Germany where its use is normal.

Walter again raised his frustration on Saturday after feeling Cardiff City's opening goal should have been disallowed due to Callum Robinson being offside, while this weekend's opponents, Norwich City, were awarded a goal when Josh Sargent's cross was clearly behind the goalline when he crossed for Borja Sainz to cleverly flick into the Derby County net.

Norwich were also the recipient of a fortuitous winning goal against the Tigers on the opening day of last season when the ball had crossed the line before being turned into the back of City's net deep into added time, a decision by Keith Stroud which left the visitors enraged, and manager Liam Rosenior sent off.

The technology has been in use in the Premier League for five years now, even dating back to its first introduction in this country in the FA Cup seven years ago, so in spite of the logistical and financial challenges such changes would require, pundits such as Jordan have been left stunned that there is yet to be any sort of trickle-down effect that ensures the fairness of competition across divisions, but ultimately, second-tier clubs have so far resisted the temptation.

"Right, two sides to that argument - depends where you are with VAR in the first place," an irate Jordan began when asked on talkSPORT if the Championship should be using VAR technology.

"If you believe it is an advantage to football, and the second side of it is it is preposterous to suggest a game of football in the Championship is worth less than a game of football in the eyes and minds of the fans watching it in the Championship than the Premier League. It should be deployed, it should be deployed at perhaps the cost of the Premier League because some of their clubs are dropping into the Championship.

"Every ground within reason - every professional football ground - should have the same opportunity," he said before later clarifying to a supporter phoning in this means all 92 teams across the Premier League and EFL.

"It is not a different game of football, it is not governed by a different set of rules. It is relatively ridiculous to suggest that football being played in one space has a different set of opportunities to be correct in the analysis than another.

"What does it tell you about English football? It is perhaps another example for those who want the independent regulator in to suggest that distributions of money will allow these things to facilitate themselves. The FA should be going to the Premier League or doing whatever they need to do, rather than sitting there reading their newspaper waiting for the next England game, to distribute money in to be able to make sure all grounds are hardwired for VAR. End of discussion.

Co-pundit Martin Keown sat on the same side of the fence, arguing: "I think it is disrespectful to the Championship to not do it. Why are they saying they can't have it? Are they not important?

"Didn't Tottenham do something to Liverpool last year as a result of [a VAR error]? The [Luis] Diaz goal. Unfortunately, it happens and these situations manifest themselves, but I don't think you can track it back to the other 40 games you play all year to suggest that one moment was the defining moment. That's an excuse culture."
