The pundit and former Celtic star dropped the bombshell that he, as part of his duties at Sky Sports, is able to hear the conversation from the VAR official’s perspective when covering live games. And Walker insists - while not naming the game, referee or particular incident – that he heard a VAR official talk about the ‘easiest way out’ of a decision for the on-field referee.
