In a bid to remove 'clear errors' from the game of football, FIFA introduced the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) which is currently being put to use at the on-going Confederations Cup in Russia, a build-up to the World Cup slated for 2018.

The centre referee practically stops the game, communicates with the operators in the replay room who then relays what will be termed as appropriate decision to be taken by the referee in the game situation.

Call it a pause, play and decide system, you will be absolutely correct.
