Howard Webb “Not everything we did in Major League Soccer will work over here, it is a different environment, but some things will.” Asked whether fans in England might get to hear audio of the conversations between officials and VARs in some form during the current season, Webb said: “I hope we get to that point where we are able to share some of that. “We have talked about going to the screen and keeping your decision.” Webb said there would be no immediate change in the way referees in England calculate added time. “It seems like in the World Cup they were being much more prescriptive around adding absolutely everything in a way that then led to a high number,” Webb said. “We’re in line with other top leagues in the world by putting something that is credible on the board that accounts for time wasted, accounts for stoppages, that penalises people that do delay the game.
