In this episode of the podcast “Southern Fried Soccer,” Doug Roberson of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution shares a long conversation with Howard Webb of the Professional Referee Organization and the go-to guy for all questions related to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and replay system being used in MLS.

They discuss three important moments during Atlanta United's 1-1 draw with Seattle, and a potential change that may happen with the VAR as a result of the game.
