A ground-breaking television programme on which audio from referees and VAR officials is made public is set to air a week today. Agenda understands that Howard Webb, the new chief of refs' body PGMOL, is keen to increase transparency and has been instrumental in the creation of a planned 30-minute show which is expected to be screened on Monday, with Webb himself later taking to the airwaves on Monday Night Football ahead of Liverpool's visit to Leicester City.
It is hoped the show, which will be shown internationally via Premier League Productions, will help clubs and fans understand how decisions are reached and reduce confusion and animosity. The pilot programme will include audio from on-field officials and interactions with those operating VAR. While the incidents to be used are yet to be selected it is thought that Webb will also go through the chosen flashpoints ahead of Jurgen Klopp's side's visit to the King Power Stadium.
