Trivia
A message appears at the beginning: "This programme has been edited since broadcast. There are a number of reasons why a programme may have been edited including legal, contractual or technical issues". This is because the name of a real referee, Barry Cropp, was mentioned in the original version; he objected to this, so his name was re-dubbed to Gary Rob. It's in the first scene, spoken by Reece when Ralf Little's character is having a go at him.

Quotes
Mitch: When you leave, you know, you oughta use the back entrance.

Inside No. 9 - S5E1 - The Referee's a W***er

The episode that opens the fifth season shows us football referees gathered in the locker room, before and at half-time of a decisive football game. Their mutual relationships and relationships with players, rules, scheming, and set-ups, with a few interesting plot twists.

I don't follow football, it bores me, and I don't know the rules except for the most basic ones, so the question is whether I understood everything correctly. Also, everything related to football is boring to me, so I did not enjoy this episode much, but I think it objectively deserves

7/10.
