Serie A referees are still making wrong decisions despite having the video replay system (VAR) to help them, AS Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco said after his side drew 1-1 with Sampdoria on Wednesday.
Sampdoria scored its goal from a penalty awarded for handball by Aleksandar Kolarov, a decision the referee made after reviewing the incident on a pitch-side video screen.
However, Roma believe they should have been awarded a free kick for obstruction on Kevin Strootman in the build-up.
"The VAR system should protect the teams, but it needs to be the same for everyone," Di Francesco told reporters. "My verdict? There are fewer protests and fewer sending-offs but (referees) are continuing to make mistakes, so from that point of view, I'm not in favor."
Di Francesco became the latest coach to question their use of VAR, which is being tested in Serie A this season as well as other leagues around the world. Soccer's rule-making body IFAB is due to decide in March whether to approve its use on a permanent basis and global soccer body FIFA wants to use it at the World Cup in Russia.
