Welcome to Back of the Stand with Mark Saggers. 

Each week, I will be joined by some of the biggest names in sports and delve deep into the controversial discussions that others aren't brave enough to have. 

In this episode, I focus on refereeing in football and it’s seemingly diminishing standards. I along with some great guests also discuss refereeing from grassroots level, the treatment of female referees and the comparison between officiating in other sports.

Guest-list:

0:18 – 09:51 – Former Premier League Referees Mark Halsey and Keith Hackett

09:56 – 24:29 - Steve Chittenden, former Football League and Grassroots Referee

24:35 – 39:29 – Legendary Rugby International Referee, Nigel Owens
