Should the FA Cup Semi Finals be played at neutral grounds and only the final be played at Wembley? Our co-host SSLJA discusses the FA Cup, specifically the Semi Finals and whether or not they should be played at Wembley, as opposed to neutral venues.

Referees are much critiqued under a massive microscope every time they step onto a pitch and it only intensifies when they make a decision, even if it's correct.  In this special episode of The Straight Shootin' View our co-host SSLJA reviews Episode 106 of Jake Humphrey's High Performance podcast, which features current Premier League Referee Anthony Taylor.  Anthony Taylor was on the High Performance podcast (Episode 106) with Jake Humphrey and Psychologist Professor Damian Hughes (episode link - and gave some brilliant and eye opening insight into the decision making process of a referee, as well as the roles they have to fulfill on the pitch generally, and what can happen when there are exceptions such as the collapse of Christian Erikssen (due to a cardiac arrest) during a European Championship game & how different a challenge that was to deal with. Taylor discusses his past including working in the prison system with a harrowing experience with a colleague taking his own life and how his experience helps his decision making, how much of a difference understanding and empathy from fans, managers and the media could help referees. SSLJA looks at how Taylor comes across, how we can help referees and gives his views on the podcast episode.
