REFREE JARRED GILLETT will wear a camera during Monday night’s Premier League fixture between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
The Premier League said the footage from the camera would not be broadcast live, but that it was set to form part of a programme to be screened later in the year which it is hoped will “offer further insight and education into the demands of officiating” at the top level.
Gillett will wear a head-mounted device which is integrated into the usual referee communications system.
The one-off use of the camera has been approved by the game’s lawmakers, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), as well as the Premier League, Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) and the clubs involved.
“We would like to thank Crystal Palace and Manchester United for their support with this project,” the Premier League said in a statement.
Educate on demands on officiating at the highest level? What about making the correct decisions at VAR, where they have the technology to make the correct decision if it was obviously a wrong decision on the field. Not try to find a reason for 5 minutes to give or not give something. When that happens, to me it becomes clear that someone higher up is calling the shots on how a game should go.
Should capture a lot of Bruno whinging then???
