The AFFA Referees Committee has given special instructions to referees.
According to Idman.Biz, referring to futbolxeber.az, the referees have been instructed to approach the monitor without fail when a signal comes from VAR.
That is, if VAR calls, the replay of the episode must be watched. However, according to the rules, the head referee has the right to refuse VAR intervention.
If you remember, last season there were reports that Aliyar Agayev, in particular, did not react to VAR intervention. It was reported that the FIFA referee ignored VAR's call to review the episode. This was expressed with confidence in the correctness of the referee's decision. However, this season, no referee, including A. Agayev, has such a chance.
The Referees Committee's strict instruction is that if VAR calls, you must approach the monitor. This means that the referee's decision will change 99.9 percent of the time.
It turns out that the fate of the games of the Azerbaijan Premier League is decided not by the referees on the field, but by those sitting at VAR.
