LONDON (Reuters) - The Premier League would be going down a "dangerous road" and television viewers could switch off if the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system, was introduced next season, according to Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.

So far English football's experiment with VAR has received mixed reviews with fans complaining they are being left in the dark as decisions are made, while the system itself has caused as much controversy as it was designed to prevent.
