PGMOL 'have signed up 12 recently-retired footballers to a fast-track scheme to become referees' in a move that is hoped will 'help increase confidence in officials' in c/main@soccer.forum

Honestly, Howard Webb is a moron. He’s more interested in being liked than doing a good job.

Last year he decided that VAR decision were going to be faster so we got faster decisions but more wrong decisions as well.

He started this year by making a big deal out of apologising to Wolves for the Onana non-penalty. This was dumb because while it was a bad decision it make it a much bigger deal and I think the increase of managers bitching about VAR is because of it.

Now he’s fast tracking ex-pros because ex-pros have also assumed they would be better referees despite their being zero evidence to back this up.

He’s a disaster.

This is ridiculous. They made a bad mistake. It’s happened since the beginning of the game.

What do Liverpool expect is even going to happen?
