Howard Webb has warned against turning officials into "remote-controlled referees" after Mark Halsey claimed he had been told to say he had not seen incidents which could be open to video review Webb, a Premier League referee for 11 years who also took charge of the 2010 Champions League final and the World Cup final, also wrote in his column for The Times that he himself had never been influenced by Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) over his match report. Former Premier League referee Halsey replied to Twitter posts on Saturday about Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero's three-match ban for violent conduct by alleging pressure for referees to say they have missed an incident to allow retrospective punishment. "The first thing to be clear about is I can say, categorically, that I never came under pressure from the referees' body to say I had not seen something I had during my refereeing career," Webb, who is a former technical director of PGMOL, said. "Halsey's allegation is a significant one. The PGMOL has denied that any referee would come under pressure to lie about an incident but not said much more than that, which may be because they do not want to be drawn into a public row with someone they may feel is trying to keep his name in lights." The decision to take retrospective action is now made by a panel of three former referees, rather than the official who refereed the game. As FIFA begins trials of video technology, Webb believes the role of the referee could become further marginalised."When the idea of retrospective action was first brought in, it was supposed to be for incidents way off the ball, which no official could possibly have seen, but that is no longer the case," he added. "Now FIFA's position is changing and trials of video technology are taking place. Of course we should welcome anything which helps to get decisions right, but we have to be careful. "If all decisions can be reviewed by video, referees on the pitch become nothing more than remote-controlled referees." Halsey said he was told to say he had missed a clash between Blackburn Rovers' Steven N'Zonzi and Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross, which led to N'Zonzi being banned. The PGMOL has denied Halsey's claims in a statement which read: "Match officials ensure that their reports are a full and accurate description of the incident. "There is no pressure from the PGMOL to include or omit anything.''

The game stinks and I don't give a ***** what Howard Webb says. It doesn't take a genius to see what goes on.

The A-League is set to become the first top division in the world to include the use of Video Assistant Referees after Football Federation Australian fast-tracked plans for its introduction this season. On April 7 next year, the A-League will make the historic step in using video replays to rule on contentious decisions with Melbourne City's match against Adelaide United marked to be the first top-tier league game in the world to include the use of VAR. Fairfax Media can reveal the FFA has approved an early introduction of visual technology to assist referees, ensuring every game in the last two rounds of this season will involve a video referee, as well as the finals series. The controversial leap will be a world first for a major league and follows an off-line test of the VAR system this season which the FFA, FIFA and the game's law makers – the International Football Association Board – have been mostly pleased with.

The only way to stop corruption is to have replays, but the corruption is at top level, as was proved with FIFA so how can anybody trust the FA either? They might be deciding against it to enable certain things that suit them.

The Italian Football Federation has confirmed video assistant referees (VAR) will be utilised in Serie A for the 2017-18 season. It means an end to the current system of having goal-line referees a season after the competition in goal-line technology. FIFA, the world governing body, has yet to approve the new plans but according to FIGC president Carlo Tavecchio it won’t be long before they do so. “We asked for a little understanding from the clubs as we introduce this new system into all the stadiums,” he told Corriere dello Sport, as reported by ESPN. “We’re going to need a separate room for the video assistant referees and at least eight television cameras following the action. The Lega Serie A will cover the costs, in the region of €2 million. “Crotone will therefore play their first two games at home, allowing Cagliari to play theirs away so that they’ve got time to finish the stadium. “FIFA have not given full authorisation yet, but all the signals are clear and say we’ll begin at the start of the season.”
