That's because the decision was reached before Norway's member-run clubs could establish a unified position on whether they wanted VAR, leading to disgruntlement among some fans who felt the democratic process in the Norwegian game had been undermined.
Norwegian football stands poised to make a significant decision this weekend: whether to abandon Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in its top league, the Eliteserien.
The result of the vote is significant on a wider level because Norway scrapping VAR might influence supporters in other countries to step up protests about the technology in an effort to remove it from their leagues.
Premier League clubs voted in June to continue using VAR after being asked to consider scrapping the technology following controversies last season.
And in a vote in January of the 32 clubs making up the top two leagues in Norway, 19 voted to scrap VAR and 13 to keep it.
