Podcast: The Psychology of Refereeing

My guest is Stu Carrington, whose book Blowing the Whistle: The Psychology of Football Refereeing, lifts the lid on how referees make those critical decisions. Stu has assessed the data, conducted hundreds of interviews, and even refereed matches himself as part of his research.

How much of an influence is the crowd? What difference does experience make? What does he think about VAR?

We discuss this and much more in a fascinating interview
