09 August 2019
Rule changes for 2019/2020 Premier League Season VAR Gone will be the days of criticising referees for bad decisions. Now, fans can blame technology for making the wrong call, as VAR is introduced to the Premier League for the first time. In the Premier League, it will only be used for “clear and obvious errors” or “serious missed incidents”, such as goals, penalty decisions, direct red card incidents and cases of mistaken identity. It has also been confirmed that photographs of VAR incidents will be shown on screens in the stadiums and explained over speakers, so fans will know exactly what’s happening.
