📸 The Premier League have quietly added a hilarious new law

The Premier League has only had Video Assistant Referees for two weeks and it already feels like two weeks too long.

All everyone seems to have spoken about so far has been the decisions made by VAR, with a war breaking out online between those for the new technology and those vehemently against.

But with the introduction of our robotic overlords comes, quietly, a new rule for those players in the Premier League.

And it’s hilarious.

As Conor Pope pointed out on Twitter, players can now receive a red card should they enter the VAR Room – a room which is located near Heathrow Airport, 13 miles from the nearest Premier League ground.

The best new law this season is the one that states a player entering the VAR room is a straight red. The Premier League’s VAR room is in Stockley Park, 13 miles from the nearest PL ground. Any player making it there during a game to moan about a decision deserves a medal.

To be honest, we’d be more than up for a Bastille-esque storming.
