Howard Webb, director of the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL), has suggested that referees could soon justify their decisions to fans as part of a move towards greater transparency. Webb, who refereed in the Premier League between 2005 and 2014, has apologised to top-flight clubs on several occasions for incorrect calls. He has also faced criticism over the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. Speaking to talkSPORT, Webb said that the PGMOL was doing all it could to be transparent within the parameters set by FIFA. He added that the board was looking at ways to communicate post-match and even in-game with stadium audiences.
