About this episode
Referees are integral to football. But with every decision scrutinised, why would anyone want to be a referee?
The Athletic has been given insider access to the life of Premier League referees. From a gruelling pre-season training camp to matchday, join Adam Leventhal as he finds out what it takes to take command of the football pitch.
We'll explain the new laws you'll see this season and the refs will explain why they should benefit the game.
You'll hear from PGMO chief, Howard Webb, current Premier League refs Andy Madeley and Peter Bankes, the latest VAR recruits, and many more.
Join us as we take you inside the world of referees.
