Ep 3656: Manchester Is Blue But City See Red, Referees Dominate The Premier League Weekend, A Pro Ref Apology - 14/09/26 - The Second Captains Podcast

Om avsnittet

After a weekend dominated by the referees, it seems a good moment to welcome to the pod William Ralston, author of a new book about refereeing: "The Impossible Job - The Truly Unbelievable World of Football Referees."

What kind of person becomes a referee? Why do they do it? What makes a good one? And how has VAR changed what it means to be a ref?
