This week on Whistleblowers, Gordon Smart, Ian Ladyman and Mark Clattenburg lift the lid on football’s wildest pre-season secrets.

From Joey Barton’s infamous bar fight in Asia and biting Richard Dunne, to the night David Beckham unknowingly sparked a tabloid scandal.

Mark reveals what really happens when referees try to keep up with Ronaldo, why VAR ruling on corners and second yellows could ruin the game, and how new proposals to ban rebounds from saved penalties might change football forever.
