Finally we're going to get more clarity when it comes to VAR. But it's unfair to keep paying fans inside the stadium in the dark.
The Premier League has announced a new social media account on X that promises live refereeing and VAR clarifications from around the grounds.
They will have a hotline to the VAR Hub in Stockley Park and will be explaining decisions in real-time.
It is a great step in the right direction and it's no surprise that the Premier League Match Centre account (@PLMatch Centre) has almost 200,000 followers.
