The Premier League thinks another solution is to get away from "clear and obvious," accepting that such a standard has always been too difficult to define. There's now a push to use "referee's call," putting the focus on the decision primarily on the field, rather than the role of the VAR.
Yet nothing is actually changing. It's still going to rely on the quality of decision-making to the Premier League's exceptionally high bar.
"We're trying to manage people's expectations around the way this works and what it does and doesn't do," Webb explained. "We felt that people might understand that the 'referees' call' really means something and that the baseline for the judgment the VAR is making is against that on-field call."
