PGMOL boss Howard Webb is confident the standard of refereeing will continue to improve and promises to acknowledge and correct any errors.
Aerial sports went behind the curtain with Webb to explain the VAR process using both correct and incorrect calls in a bid to increase transparency around one of the most controversial aspects of the game.
“We are committed to being more transparent,” Webb said of Monday Night Football. “We know and recognize that people want more information about refereeing processes, especially with the advent of VAR.
“We want to show spectators what goes into making decisions on the pitch and how VAR works. We have a group of professional officials working hard to have a positive impact on the match.”
