The English Premier League is studying a new decision to improve the transparency of the video assistant referee technology.
The Premier League is planning to make sweeping changes to improve transparency with fans regarding VAR decisions.
Although the performance of referees has improved significantly since the emergence of technology in the English Premier League during the past few season, and more justice has been achieved in arbitral decisions, there are many cases that have raised some arbitration controversy.
VAR was introduced in the Premier League in 2019, and has always been the subject of criticism and controversy among fans, especially when it comes to handballs and offside decisions.
What is the new decision?
According to the English newspaper "The Times", the English Premier League has developed a plan to publicize the conversations between the referees of the arena and the referees of video technology during matches.
The main goal is to help fans understand the decision-making process when returning to video technology, with the hope that this will help in more transparency with the fans.
What was said?
Richard Masters, chief executive of the English Premier League, confirmed that he has received strong support for the implementation of this idea.
He said: "There is a general opinion that posting audio clips is a good thing, there is a desire to be more open with the fans about the referees making their decisions, and we have to work on how to do that."
In the footsteps of the American League!
This experiment has already been implemented in the MLS, where discussions between referees are broadcast in audio format on YouTube.
The former English referee, Howard Webb, takes over the presidency of the refereeing in the American League, and is scheduled to become the new head of referees in the English Premier League.
Webb can play a key role in ensuring that the same system is applied in the Premier League as smoothly as possible.
