VAR was brought into use in the Premier League at the beginning of the 2019/20 seasonFootball laws may need changing to help reduce VAR controversy, a Premier League club executive has told the BBC. The league introduced VAR this season but a number of high-profile decisions have been criticised over inconsistencies and the time it takes. Criticism of VAR has also included the lack of communication with fans and referees not using pitch-side monitors. The Premier League has promised to improve VAR's consistency and speed and increase communication with fans. However, there is also a feeling that those working around VAR can only do so much in searching for greater consistency.
