Was it really punishment? Did the referee duo miss an overtrap at the goal? The coaches in the Danish women's and men's league can challenge certain taken or missed judgments this season.

This applies only to televised matches as the system is dependent on video evidence and it is under test during the season.

"Amazingly boring"

When TT asks some Swedish coaches and players during the handball's preliminary hits, the system in most cases gets the thumbs down.

- I do not think it is possible to get the millimeter justice that football is about to think that they will create with their VAR, says Mikael Franzén, men's coach at Alingsås, and continues:

- Because there will always be new situations that will push that boundary constantly. And then I think it will be terribly sad to constantly watch a judge making a square in the air.

One challenge per match applies to situations such as goals or penalty throws and if the coach is wrong it costs a timeout. If you are right, the team only gets rid of the challenge.

- I don't think it feels like the right development. Handball is and should be an assessment sport, says the women's national team captain Henrik Signell.

"Not to be clear"

It may not be easier to make the right judgment just because it is reviewed on videos, he says. Something Signell himself noticed when he was at the judges' preliminary meeting recently.

- There is a rule book that is clear, but both me and the judges ended up in situations where we did not agree when we were watching certain videos. It can be extremely difficult to determine whether it is, for example, punishment or free. That is a bit of a charm with our sport as well - that it should not be crystal clear, says Signell.

Danish Rasmus Overby, coach for Sävehof's ladies, does not think the system should be used in a basic series.

- It fits better in the playoffs and in the finals where there are small margins, but you should use it for situations that can be decisive. What is happening in Denmark right now is that it is being used too much, says Overby.

In addition to creating interruptions in the game, Overby emphasizes that it also puts extra pressure on the referees.

- The judges have to be pretty confident - because if they make a mistake, they should also admit it on television, he says.

Vranjes positive

However, Kristianstad's men's coach Ljubomir Vranjes is positive to the Danish test.

- I think it is interesting and that you can definitely test it, says Vranjes.

He would have liked to see the system up and running in the spring of 2016 when his then Flensburg-Handewitt club chased a receipt ball away to Kielce in the return meeting of the quarterfinals of the Champions League. According to him, his players were regularly stopped during a closing attempt in the closing seconds.

- Everyone saw it, but the judges did nothing. You could have challenged that and then we would probably have been in the Final Four.
