The Six Point Plan:
1) Maintaining a high threshold for VAR intervention to deliver greater consistency and less interruptions to the flow of the game.
2) Reducing delays to the game, primarily through the introduction of semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) and the maintained high threshold for VAR intervention.
3) Improving fan experience through a reduction in the delays, in-stadium announcements from referees after a post-VAR change of decision and where possible, an enhanced offering of big screen replays to include all VAR interventions.
4) Working with PGMOL on the implementation of more robust VAR training to improve consistency, including an emphasis on speed of process while preserving accuracy.
5) Increasing transparency and communication around VAR – including expanded communications from Premier League Match Centre and through broadcast programming such as "Match Officials Mic’d Up".
6) The delivery of a fan and stakeholder VAR communication campaign, which will seek to further clarify VAR’s role in the game to participants and supporters.
They are not going to broadcast discussions between VAR and refs - because they are too chaotic. Bollocks, if they are too chaotic then the system is fucked innit?
So...... they are doing a little bit less than fuck all, just talking about what they are going to do in the future. We will still be subjected to the bollocks, ridiculous offside checks for almost every goal. Maybe the 'semi-automated' offside checks will make it better, I doubt it.
The thing I just do not believe is 'Premier League chief football officer Tony Scholes said an independent survey commissioned by the Premier League, with 1,300 respondents, showed "four out of five want to keep VAR". Do fucking what? I'm not having that!
