Referees' Body To Cooperate With Premier League Review Of VAR
The organisation representing English football's top-flight referees effectively conceded Sunday that the VAR decisions to disallow West Ham and Newcastle goals this weekend were wrong as it promised to "fully co-operate" with a Premier League review of the incidents. The Professional Game Match Officials' (PGMOL) Board took the unusual step of "acknowledging" the specific controversies in a statement issued Sunday. VAR decisions in matches are already reviewed by a five-strong independent panel made up of representatives of the Premier League and the PGMOL as well as three former players. Their findings are sent to the clubs concerned.
