VAR will not be used in the Premier League next season after clubs voted to extend trials for another year. A decision to defer implementation of the controversial video assistant referee technology was passed by a two-thirds majority at a meeting of the 20 Premier League clubs on Friday. They also asked for a greater emphasis on communicating VAR decisions to spectators, one of the most strident complaints against the technology to this point. It is understood this decision could be revisited before the end of next season, enabling implementation in 2019-20. The Premier League is the exception in choosing to refrain from embracing the technology.
