View Details Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet.

In today’s episode, our special guest is regarded as one of the best referees in the world - Howard Webb, who is joined by hosts Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott.

We kick things off by looking at Wayne Rooney’s red card against Blackburn, as Howard Webb shares how he dealt with managers and coming into his new role at the PGMOL.

Howard discusses how refereeing in the modern game has changed, especially with teams now playing from the back and how VAR is improving.

The panel debate players delaying the game, law changes they would bring in, enrolling ex-players as referees, rolling substitutes and should VAR be scrapped?

Plus, Howard talks in depth about refereeing the 2010 World Cup Final where he issued many yellow cards in Spain’s 1-0 victory over the Netherlands.
