Everyone shitting on the idea but i see it as a good start to fix VAR proplems , And simply put a rule of not refereeing club you have played in before and maybe their biggest rival too 😂
Another gig for big meeks?
Imagine ronaldo as a ref 😂
what about the refs who are wading through the trenches who come pre experienced and would chomp at the bits for a promotion?

Oh is the confidence on referees low, Howard? Wonder why!
Mic up so we can hear how decisions are made you cowards
Player: Ref, handball!
Zlatan: Nope.
Player: How could you not see it?
Zlatan: I am the best. I do not miss anything. No handball.
Player: Is it cos your nose is in the way?
Zlatan: Red card. Off.
*Kicks player in the head*
That feels like a Hail Mary move for Webb, and if really doesn’t sound like one which is going to work.
Inexperienced referees with a potential unconscious bias is going to make things worse, not better. Not to mention it undermines the confidence of the current referees even further.
Any young people aspiring to be referees are going to be demotivated as well.
Any other profession and Webb is out of a job now.
True. Imagine a referee giving a team a bad call because the fans called him a cunt 20 years ago. Humans can be very petty.
The only way this’ll works is if the players never played in the league
Get them Swedish referees in I say. IKEA does amazing all over the world, it’s in their culture to do their best
How the fuck is this not possible conflict of interest lmao
They obviously wouldn’t officiate games for the clubs they played for, or their rivals. Current referees are already subject to restrictions like this, everyone has a favourite club that they’re going to be biased towards.
mate, they let officiate referees who are on UAE payroll, they don’t give about conflict of interest
Any more than a ref being a fan of any given club?
Why not poach the best referees from other leagues like they already do with players?
These idiots will do anything but bring in the best refs from other countries
They are going to try everything but facing up to the reality that the organisation is too close to current referees to actually do the job of keeping them accountable.
Look at how clueless and biased pundits can be.
Just get the referees from rugby
Honestly, getting rugby referees (would have to be a majority presence mind) in would be incredible. Complete Change of culture and competency
