WTF is happening in the Women’s game? 10:51 - Jul 22 with 1535 views | ITFC_Forever | No penalty (fair enough), a stupid announcement to the crowd and then the Haiti player gets booked. VAR ruining the game as usual. |  |

WTF is happening in the Women’s game? on 10:53 - Jul 22 with 1486 views | emergencylime | Japan had 2 narrowly offsidegoals ruled out, then a penalty decision reversed (all by VAR), so when they did get their legitimate second goal, no-one really celebrated because they were almost waiting for VAR to allow it.

That one is wrong though. She cant possibly see whether there was actually contact with the hands. |  | |  |
WTF is happening in the Women’s game? on 11:08 - Jul 22 with 1404 views | LankHenners | The whole thing about them announcing their decision to the crowd is a bit pointless if all they do is say ‘penalty - foul’ or whatever. If they’re going to have a mic they should be talking through the process, what they’re looking at, why they’re considering it etc. |  |

Slows it down more which is an issue. Can be less formal and quicker if they are going to do it. |  | |  |

In the men’s game, the crowd would simply boo over the top of the ref so no-one would hear. |  |

That's exactly what I was thinking. Unless they're actually going to explain *why*, it's pointless. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

It's a bit irritating, & I think patronising too. Even very young kids quickly learn referees' hand signals if they don't already know them. |  |

We have endless whining on every pundit show that refs should be required to explain themselves. Its not surprising. |  | |  |

Must admit I was thinking from the perspective of a TV viewer, where we have the benefit of replays anyway. For people in the ground it is probably more of a help and therefore worth doing. I was at the Euros final last year and when VAR was being used no one had a clue what was going on so it would have helped then no doubt. |  | |  |
