PGMOL to ask referees to be less stringent in handball verdicts

In handball decisions, Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL) will ask referees to be softer.

However, PGMOL asked to use a more sound approach in those situations where possible.

It is also noted that violations will still be recorded if the hand is above a certain level when the ball hits it.

Premier League cannot deviate from the rules of the game, simply can use a softer interpretation of them, this is worth noting.

In addition, FIFA fully regulates the VAR system and wants to bring it to general world standards.
