This week the FA released their decision about how promotions and reclassifications would be handled for English referees. We chat with a number of referees at different levels ranging from 2B to 6 to get their reaction to the news and how it’s impacted them.

This week we're joined by Red Egan Level 5 referee and Harris Rasheed, a regional referee in the US. We talk about the injury to Rui Patricio, Erik Lamela, Lacazette's penalty and the harrowing incident in the Bulgarian fourth tier where a match was abandoned following an assault on a referee.

We have some big news as our team is expanding and have our new team member joining us this week from Denmark. We talk about our big news and new app beta as well as the VAR calls in the Dortmund vs Seville Champions League match.
