When can VAR be used in Premier League games?
VAR will be used in all 360 Premier League matches this season.
It will only be used for incidents involving:
- each goal scored
- each penalty awarded
- each straight red card shown
- cases of mistaken identity
The technology cannot be used to advise on:
- yellow cards, including second yellows
- potential fouls in ordinary open play
- to decide on corner or throw-in awards.
VAR can also alert officials of incidents of foul play missed by a referee, such as an off-the ball incident.
Seems not in cases such as this, where yellow was given? Stupid if so.
