Pundits Discuss the Negative Aspects of VAR in the Premier League

VAR (Video Assistant Referee) technology played a huge part at the Women's World Cup in France

It's the first time the technology has been used at a Women's World Cup but some decisions made using it have caused controversy, leaving some players, managers and fans frustrated.

Lionesses forward, Ellen White had two goals disallowed because of VAR reviews. If the goals had been given, she would've been the tournament's biggest scorer, winning the golden boot.

However she had goals ruled out for a handball against Sweden and offside against the USA. The decisions even saw England Manager Phil Neville ask for a change in the rules over handball.

Meanwhile, the Premier League is about to use VAR for the first time this coming season.

Referees' chief Mike Riley says that there will be a 'high bar', before VAR is used instead of the on-field referee.

He said there had been a "reaction" to some uses of VAR at the Women's World Cup in France.

"We don't want VAR to come in and try to re-referee the game. We actually want it to protect the referees from making serious errors, the ones everybody's goes: 'Well, actually, that's wrong.'
