PGMOL chief and ex-Premier League referee Howard Webb has admitted that he feels more safeguarding for referees is required in the top-flight, highlighting a lack of 'forgiveness' from supporters
Howard Webb says he wants better protection for referees when asked what rule he wants to see implemented in football.
Detailing the change he wants to see, Webb said: "In general terms, I mean, there's a real lack of forgiveness in the game at the moment. I mean it's like the thing that kind of really frustrates me a little bit is that any error that you make is seen as something different. "Sometimes they'll call situations wrongly, it's a sad sort of reflection really. It used to be correct or incorrect, now it's correct or corrupt in too many cases now - which is just nonsense really."
