Major referee change coming to Premier League
Howard Webb, the head of Premier League referees, is reportedly exploring the possibility that match officials could be allowed to explain some of their decisions to crowds inside stadiums starting from the 2024/25 season.
Sky Sports News chief reporter Rob Dorsett said: "IFAB, who make the rules of the game, have never allowed live audio between match officials to be played to the crowd. But Webb thinks there is scope within the existing rules for referees when they're called over to the screen to review a decision to then explain why they are changing it to the crowd."

I think we focused really hard, played with a smile on our faces and we started to play really well when we got back. We worked really hard in Dubai and it was important."
