Libero 006: Defund the PGMOL

On Libero today, Jack Pitt-Brooke, James Horncastle, John Brewin and Jonathan Wilson discuss whether or not the 2024-25 season has been good or not. What do we mean when we talk about a good season? How do we find the right balance between quality, competitiveness and drama? Then they discuss why football journalists can never get as angry about referees and PGMOL as fans do, and hear why the cult of the celebrity referee actually started in Italy.

Om Podcasten

This is another podcast about football. But it is also not really, when you think about it, about football. It is about the football industry, about that gauzy web of characters who determine how the game is consumed, about why we think what we think about the world's most popular pastime. Libero is a free-form discussion group featuring a rotating cast of guests, all of whom have spent longer than they probably realise writing and talking about football, and all of whom nurse a particular bias against your specific club. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
