      And Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime have already discussed the prospect, says the Daily Mail.
      However, they also add that the Professional Game Match Officials Limited [PGMOL] are yet to sign it off.
      Ex-Premier League referee Howard Webb was appointed as the PGMOL’s first chief refereeing officer last year.
      And he has attempted to make the body more open and “may be receptive to the idea” of the doc.

      Webb recently linked up with Michael Owen in the newly launched Match Officials Mic’d Up programme, explaining controversial VAR and refereeing decisions using audio from in-game conversations between officials.
      The premise of the documentary pitch is believed to be “an attempt to humanise referees”.
      It is also hoping to give football fans a better understanding of how officials carry out their duties and the pressures they face.
      The would-be producers want to film referee training sessions as well as pre and post-game meetings.

      But the Premier League would also need to give their approval as producer want to use unseen footage from games.
      The Mail says that a source close to the referees said: “It’s a great idea.
      “It would show a different side to them. How hard it is. The pressure they’re under.
      “To officiate a Premier League is not easy. One error and you’re vilified. So something such as this might help people see a different side to officials.” More

      The former radio host came in for Humphrey earlier this year after BT Sport made some personnel changes when they shook things up with their big rebrand to TNT Sport.

      Woods took to Instagram to commemorate her Champions League debut with a few different highlights from the night.

      Fans get massive boost as huge change to Premier League TV schedule revealed but one revolutionary plan ditched

      by

      The new deal — expected to be confirmed next week — will bring a significant increase on the 200 matches shown in the current TV contracts with Sky, TNT Sports and Amazon.
      It is understood there will be an increase in Saturday clashes at 7.45pm — although Prem bosses insist the idea of Sunday evening matches has been dismissed.
      Club and League chiefs both hope that offering more games will see the value of the domestic deal increase when the packages go out to tender over the coming weeks.
      The overseas deals for the 2025-28 cycle are already higher than for the domestic packages, taking the overall value of overseas deals above the existing £5.5bn tally.

      Recent reports have suggested that officials are also open to discussions surrounding the 3pm blackout.
      The blackout law was introduced before the establishment of the Premier League back in 1992.
      It is a rule that prohibits any football match from being broadcast on live television in the UK on Saturdays between 2:45pm and 5:15pm.
      However, officials are allegedly considering adjusting the rules to support the women’s game.

      Dawn Airey, chair of the Women’s Super League, believes the women’s top tier will become a billion-pound enity.
      She said: “That isn’t the figure we just plucked from the air, it is based on a pretty decent and detailed business plan for over the course of the next 10 years.
      “We look at the growth of attendances, we look at the growth of engagement and broadcast, we look at the increased interest in sponsorship and marketing opportunities, and then we start being more imaginative about what attending a women’s game means.
      “Not just watching the game, but everything that goes on around it, is there potential for clubs to think differently about their revenues?” More

      Breach is no stranger to the European calendar, having been a regular on the sidelines of many games over the years.
      However, seeing her hometown club of Brighton feature in the competition nearly three decades after they were nearly liquidated has left the presenter ecstatic.
      Taking to Instagram, Breach shared a story revealing that she was wearing a suitable blue and white suit for the occasion.
      In a column for FourFourTwo ahead of the match, Breach admitted it felt “unreal” to see Brighton in the competition.

      She wrote: “For the last few years, I’ve had a front-row seat for the Europa League, presenting live matches around the continent, so I’ve seen first-hand how desperate teams are to win it.
      “One of the quirks of the Thursday evening tournaments is that almost every side kicks off their campaign thinking they can go far… 
      “The Seagulls are in Europe for the first time in their history.
      “Roberto De Zerbi has his side playing the finest football Albion fans have ever witnessed, and the Europa League anthem will be blaring out at the Amex.

      “My goosebumps have goosebumps just thinking about those Thursday nights under the lights.
      “It still feels unreal to supporters who have followed Brighton through thick and thin – from watching them almost fall out of the Football League in 1997, have to groundshare with Gillingham and play at the Withdean, to the here and now, going on a European tour.”
      Breach could also not help but admit she was dreaming of making the final in Dublin.
      She added: “Winning it is obviously the ultimate goal, but the journey, particularly for fans who are living it for the first time, is what it’s all about.
      “This year, you might be travelling anywhere from Gothenburg to Czestochowa (I had to Google them, too), not just Liverpool or Rome.
      “Sure, everybody wants a big knockout tie, but touring some of the most obscure cities almost becomes a more fascinating part of the experience.
      “It’s a chance to go on new adventures and create incredible memories with people who adore the game as much as you. And that’s really why we all love football.
      “The final will be staged in Dublin on May 22. Call me a fantasist, but I can picture it now: teenager Evan Ferguson, born in Bettystown, less than 30 miles from the capital, hits the winner and delivers Albion’s first European trophy.
      “Maybe, maybe not, but for now I can keep dreaming. Watching the Seagulls play in Europe for the first time has ensured one dream has already come true.”
