Law Changes

After some chat up top, Musa and Ryan begin with Bayern’s 3-2 win at Dortmund (06:02) to open up an eleven point gap at the top of the Bundesliga. They then round up some other results around Europe, before heading to the Premier League (19:24). There’s chat about Arsenal’s win over Chelsea, where all three goals were set pieces, Manchester United going third, as well as some of the other results, most of which also contained set pieces. There’s also chat about Arne Slot’s comments about… set pieces (40:31), and how they’re making the Premier League tougher to watch. Finally, the new law changes were outlined by IFAB this weekend, so there are some thoughts on the ones that will be introduced at this summer’s World Cup (51:41).

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet. In today’s episode, one of the best referees in the world - Howard Webb - joins hosts Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott. Howard shares how he dealt with managers, his new role at the PGMOL- and how refereeing in the modern game has changed. The panel debate players delaying the game, law changes they would bring in, enrolling ex-players as referees, rolling substitutes and of course: should VAR be scrapped? Plus, Howard takes us behind-the-scenes to his refereeing experience at the 2010 World Cup Final - where he dished-out 14 yellows and one red card in Spain’s win over the Netherlands.

The recommendations are set to be made by the International Football Association Board (Ifab) on Friday ahead of trials across competitions. The Football Association was reported to be exploring the ­possibility of using the FA Cup as part of the trials process, though Fifa, the global governing body, have since said it would be ­“premature” to involve elite ­competitions in the trials. The trials have not been authorised for top-level competitions, ­however, meaning there will be no sin-bins in the Premier League, and the ­proposals have not met with support from Uefa who have no plans to roll out sin-bins to either this summer’s men’s European Championship or the Champions League [The Guardian].
