The former head of the Russian Football Union, ex-Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko expressed his opinion on the situation with refereeing in the Russian Premier League (RPL).


“What do you think about refereeing in the Russian Championship?

I have always wanted the judiciary to be independent.

I wanted the judges to be a la American policemen.

Personalities are needed.

Here was the referee Igor Egorov from Nizhny Novgorod.

He was wrong, but it was a person.

Polygraph is nonsense, I don't believe in these things.

There should be a unified interpretation of the rules.

And then I listened to Kaloshin, the project manager for the implementation of VAR in Russia, and did not understand anything, ”Mutko quotes“ Match TV ”.

The start of the 2019/20 RPL season was marked by a series of referee scandals and criticism of the work of referees.

Earlier, the head of the RPL Sergei Pryadkin said that it is necessary to reduce the degree of criticism against judges.
