The introduction of VAR, which Wrexham do not use in Championship, left McElhenney frustrated following the red card for George Dobson and a disallowed late equaliser that would have made the score 3-3. When asked for his opinion on the technology by ESPN, he asked, "Can you bleep something on this?" before stating, "I think the chant was, ‘F*** VAR!'"
Reynolds concurred, jokingly adding: "They did say that. They’re actually going to call VAR on what you just said."
