PGMOL

The referees' body has effectively admitted the decisions to disallow goals at Chelsea and Newcastle on Saturday were wrong.

“But if you’re saying today that the referee’s mistake was corrected by VAR, I’m saying I do not see that in a million years. “But without that push, there’s no way that Joe would have gone in with that force, so for me it’s not a foul. But I would hope if the referee made a mistake, that’s why it’s corrected by VAR.

The Premier League is to urgently review the use of VAR in two of Saturday's Premier League games with PGMOL, the official referees' organisation.

West Ham's new signing Maxwel Cornet thought he had struck a late, late equaliser at Stamford Bridge. - The Premier League are to review the use of VAR in two matches with PGMOL

Secondly, with the offsides it is absolutely ridiculous how so many goals are getting ruled out that shouldn’t be. For starters, I think that if a former PL player had been involved yesterday, both the Newcastle and West Ham goals would have stood. Firstly, this weekend in particular has highlighted the apparent failure of this process when the VAR official is alerting the referee to review a decision, by looking at a replay on the pitchside monitor. I think this would seriously cut down the number of reviews and decisions getting overturned that shouldn’t have been. As many people have commented, VAR is not the problem, in terms of using TV replays. My suggestion therefore would be that as well as having the current VAR official who is a past or present referee, they should also have a former Premier League player sitting with every VAR official.

Most people assumed that the goal would stand after seeing the replay multiple times. It's been proven year after year that despite being the best league in the world, the Premier League by far has the worst referees. It's crazy how one of the Premier League's most experienced referees can watch that goal and think it shouldn't stand. Due to this, the Premier League have called for an immediate review of VAR amid calls for it to be removed. They will co-operate with Premier League's request to review multiple controversial incidents from this week and take lessons from the outcome of it. On Saturday, one of the most controversial decisions in the Premier League happened.
