Premier League managing director, Richard Masters, showed support for referees after critical Forest statement
Transcript
00:00 So we put out a statement on Monday, as you know, about our disappointment in, which I
00:06 think is different. I think there's always fair comment about refereeing performances
00:09 as part of the game. There's an allowance rule of that, whether you're inside the system,
00:14 a club, et cetera. But obviously we were disappointed that statements are made about potentially
00:21 us implicating referees and the reasons why they might have made decisions. But that's
00:26 part of an investigation now, so we can't really comment on that. But I think generally
00:31 speaking I would say a few words in support of English referees. I think they do a very
00:37 good job. We know the VR system needs to improve. Part of that is getting the rules to be upgraded
00:43 so there's more space to communicate with fans. All of that is good. And we want to
00:50 improve the situation for fans.
