A blessing in disguise or one more year of poor refereeing
Premier League clubs have decided it best to postpone the introduction of video assistant referee (VAR) for the next season. They believe the system too raw and want it tried additionally in the FA Cup and League Cup matches.
The system is already used in Seria A and other various divisions across Europe and will be in operation at the World Cup in Russia this summer.
