Veres President Nadein: "We are planning to introduce a lie detector for arbitrators"

Veres president Ivan Nadein told us what decisions the UPL team owners had made at a recent meeting.

- "We have now outlined an action plan that we want to implement. The key focus will be on the openness of the referees, because today this process is as closed as possible. We want to make the draw process for appointing referees transparent, as well as the referees' comments after matches.

We want to see what marks are given to the referees for the match. Later, the clubs will be ready to introduce some kind of referee bonus system to encourage better work, but there will also be sanctions. We also plan to introduce a lie detector for referees.

How are we going to use it? We are still discussing this point. At the first meeting, we presented only a concept for further decisions. I can say for sure that the refereeing needs to be put in order.

All the club representatives present spoke in favour of changing the head of the refereeing corps, namely Lucha. There were even opinions that the referees should be subordinate to the UPL, not the UAF, because it is the Premier League that pays their salaries - all the money comes from the clubs," Nadein toldUV.
