Football Video Support (FVS), a variant of VAR that requires fewer resources and allows each coach to review two games per game, could’ve been brought in by August. Goal Line Technology will remain in the second tier. A cost-based study will be conducted before a vote is held in June on whether to extend it to League One. In recent months several managers have called for the introduction of VAR. Norwich manager Philippe Clement stated that there are “moments when I miss VAR in order to get the right decision” after his team conceded a penalty against Ipswich this month. Former Bristol City manager Gerhard Struber stated in January that there are “many indications, evaluations, and the decisions with VAR are better and fairer”. VAR is currently used in the second divisions of Spain, Italy, and Germany. The TV rights deal collapsed and it was scrapped for financial reasons.

Football Video Support (FVS), has been tested for two years. It is designed for leagues with fewer cameras and officials. There is no VAR. Instead, a replay operator shows the match referee the camera angles on the pitchside monitor. The manager keeps the challenge if it is successful. Mark Bullingham, Football Association chief executive, said earlier this year that FVS “reduces the amount of times when there is a VAR intervention and effectively puts onus on the coach”. The referee only went to the monitor twice in the last two rounds in the Premier League. With FVS, that number could increase to four times a game – or even more if a manager’s challenge is upheld. Pacific FC and Supra du Quebec had a 2-2 score in injury time after the referee let a tackle from the home team’s Joshua Belluz go unpunished. Supra du Quebec challenged the straight red card for Belluz. It was not a foul that warranted a red card, but the referee needed to take the appropriate disciplinary action once he saw the monitor. Belluz received a yellow card, and as he had already been cautioned, he was dismissed. Supra du Quebec had lost their challenge but they used it tactfully to get a player dismissed. Then, they scored the winning goal during the extra time that was caused by the review. Related topicsChampionshipFootball
