He officiated in the Premier League from 2007 to 2019 and has recently been appointed director of referees at the United Arab Emirates Football Association. Following praise for the refereeing at Euro 2020, in particular the use of the video assistant referee (VAR), Probert examines what the Premier League can learn from the tournament. I'm sure the English referees at Euro 2020, Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor, will give feedback to the Premier League, because, at the end of the day, it is about entertainment value. Despite the changes, Probert still expects tight offside calls to cause frustration among supporters, but thinks the use of a dedicated offside VAR - like the ones used at Euro 2020 - could speed up decision-making. Premier League official Anthony Taylor was the referee in charge that day and widely praised for his rapid response.
