When the second episode of Match Officials: Mic’d Up is shown the following week, referees’ boss Howard Webb will finally speak out about the Tottenham v. Liverpool VAR fiasco.
Tuesday night’s airing of the program on Sky Sports and TNT Sports should enhance their respective broadcasters’ ratings at the beginning of the international break.
When Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana clashed with Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic at the beginning of the season, the team’s failed penalty claim was included in the examination of six VAR situations that were featured in the episode that aired last month. There will only be one significant talking point next week, Webb acknowledged, despite the fact that it should have been evaluated.
When they released recordings of the Tottenham vs. Liverpool officials discussing the incident, the referees’ body PGMOL issued a statement saying that VAR protocols will be reviewed. However, no officials have been available for interviews since last weekend. Former England striker Michael Owen will once more be present for the broadcast with Webb.
