We Love You Football We Do… Former Ref Chief labels current crop as ‘lazy’
How often do we get to hear football fans discussing the game with a top referee? In this episode, Graham Miller and Fair Game CEO Niall Couper talk to Keith Hackett, a man who is every bit as passionate about football as we are.
Keith was one of the very best for 15 years and just like us, he wanted to smash his TV screen in frustration when he saw the disallowed Liverpool goal at Tottenham. He tells us the officials in that game did have the power to stop the game and correct the VAR mistake.
Keith managed the group of Premier League referees when he retired and he drove the introduction of technology to help officials do their jobs better and now he thinks there should be a reality TV show to find the next elite referees.
