VAR referees caught 'having takeaway delivered' while overseeing football match

VAR referees in Greece were spotted receiving a takeaway delivery while a game was ongoing after cameras panned to them at the moment the food arrived.

Lamia were taking on Panathinaikos in the Greek Superleague in the first game of the domestic season when an incident on the pitch went to VAR.

As the TV coverage showed the room in which the three VAR officials were monitoring the action it is clearly visible that there is a fourth man appearing to deliver a bag full of food for the hungry referees.

It has not been confirmed what type of food the officials had opted for, with some reports it was souvlaki.

PM tells BBC to ‘cough up’ for free TV licences for over-75s

The Tory election manifesto in 2017 pledged to protect free licences.

But the benefit will be restricted to those on pension credit from June next year, with the BBC saying it cannot afford to take on the financial burden from the Government.
