 Premier League shareholders have agreed to implement a variety of new rules for next season - including one which says referees should use the pitchside monitor more often. The top-flight's Annual General Meeting took place today where shareholders and clubs unanimously approved the use of VAR for next season. But officials have been told to use the pitchside monitor, also known as the Referee Review Area, for goals, red cards and penalties. Other rules to come into force next season involve encroachment and goalkeeper positioning on penalty kicks. If a goalkeeper saves a penalty and one of his feet is over the goal line, then the spot-kick must be retaken. Furthermore, if a player who is not the penalty taker places a part of his body on the floor inside the area whilst a spot-kick is being taken, then it is deemed encroachment. Assistant referees have also been ordered to keep their flags down for marginal offside calls, which will be reviewed by VAR when a goal is scored. Last month, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), who dictate the laws of the game, handed responsibility of VAR rules over to governing body FIFA. During its debut season in the Premier League, the video technology was the subject of intense criticism from supporters and pundits about its inconsistency. |

Referee Review Area – increased use of the Referee Review Area which will be used for subjective decisions in the three key areas: Goals, red cards, penalty kicks.
Goalkeeper encroachment on penalty kicks – the protocol does not allow for tolerance levels, so if the goalkeeper saves a penalty and his foot is over the line then VAR will advise it is retaken. If the keeper is off his line and the ball hits the post or goes over, it won’t be retaken unless the goalkeeper has a material impact on the kick being missed.
Player encroachment on penalty kicks – it is now judged on any part of player’s body that is on the ground when the kick is taken. So if any part of the foot is on the penalty area /arc line it is encroaching. The player must still have a material impact on the outcome of the kick.
Offsides – the protocol does not allow for tolerance levels.
Keeping the flag down for tight marginal offside offences – When an immediate goal scoring opportunity is likely to result the Assistant Referee will hold their flag until the passage of play is completed. Once the goal scoring opportunity is complete – either a goal is scored or the chance is gone – the AR will then raise the flag to indicate the initial offence. If a goal is scored the VAR will then review the offside judgement.

VAR was an absolute disgrace last season, so if they don't make it bullet proof it will do more harm than good.
