Premier League fans SLAM PGMOL's Match Officials Mic'd up show as 'utterly useless' and a 'massive cop out for Howard Webb'... with Michael Owen panned for NOT challenging the former ref

Premier League fans have criticised the format of the Match Officials Mic'd Up show as 'a self-congratulatory exercise for Howard Webb' and questioned the selection process for the incidents featured on the program.

The 25-minute show, which is simultaneously broadcast on Sky Sports and TNT Sports, was introduced this season to give fans a better understanding of the process referees and VAR officials go through when making decisions.

Webb, a former Premier League referee, is joined in studio by Michael Owen and guides the viewers through the incidents, aided by the audio of the conversations between the referees and VAR officials, which is released specifically for the show.
