“Why do we now have to cover our heads underneath the sand and hope that nothing occurs on the nook kick which is taken?”

Soccer Affiliation chief govt Mark Bullingham, who sits on the Ifab board, has beforehand advised BBC Sport he’s towards the change.

“That is what satisfied us 13, 14 years in the past to begin pondering the best way to assist referees [with technology]. So if we are able to get this, to me, it is constructive.

“We talk about and we’ll see what would be the consequence as a result of I feel the target can be value it.”

The measures will likely be mentioned additional on the subsequent Ifab assembly in January.

At an October assembly, Ifab agreed that VAR may very well be expanded to cowl incorrectly proven second yellow playing cards that result in a crimson.
