Brian Barlow is on the show to discuss the state of referees in the country and proposes hypothetical remedies to help fix the situation.

Brian highlights the attitude toward referees that has seemingly caused a decline in referee pools as of late. Launching a program 'Offside Academy' to help educate young referees, Brian's aim is to build confidence and pedigree with the future of referees.

The candid chatter between host and guest vividly present real life experiences that they believe has attributed to a referee shortage and a decline in retention.
