I believe I have this paper (if its Thursdays) at work somewhere. Was it printed in the paper or just online?:)
 
I haven't read all of it but it is about a van in the Netherlands that you can apparently referee from I think. Something to do with more video technology.
 
Would the FA insist on the van having to be black in colour, whereas other other FAs, UEFA and FIFA would permit different colours?

And would the van have to travel to and from all EPL games with the other officials?

Interesting article.

Van Ref only "advises", final call is with the man in the middle & is only used for key decisions, red cards, penalties and goal incidents.

Says that close calls will still be close calls, so won't end all debate and its up to match ref to ask van ref for help - no manager challenges.

Interesting that they have found that the more inexperienced the ref, the more they have asked van ref for advice.

They are hoping to get go ahead from FIFA to officially trial the system next season. It will be on agenda of next Laws meeting very end of Feb.
