Referees’ chief Mike Riley has told Premier League clubs that “improvement is required” with the video assistant referee system.

The technology has caused frustration and controversy since its introduction at the start of the season.

At a meeting on Thursday, Riley gave a full appraisal of VAR with clubs discussing their “grave concerns”.

The Premier League has promised to improve VAR’s consistency and speed and increase communication with fans.

The league will also lead a consultation with “fans and other relevant stakeholders” on the technology.

Riley spoke for just under two hours at what was described as a fractious four-and-a-half-hour meeting before it was decided no substantive changes would be made this season for fear it would affect the integrity of the competition.

“The Premier League and Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) are committed to improving the consistency of decisions, speeding up processes and increasing communication to fans,” the league said in a statement.

“There is not going to be any significant change this season,” West Ham co-chairman David Gold said after the meeting.

“There was a lot of debate but this is a brand new system, so we just have to be a bit more patient. What I can say is that VAR is alive and kicking.”
