WTF is happening in the Women’s game? 10:51 - Jul 22 with 1535 viewsITFC_Forever

No penalty (fair enough), a stupid announcement to the crowd and then the Haiti player gets booked.

VAR ruining the game as usual.

The only thing wrong with the decision was that it should be a red not a yellow.

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.

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.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

I guess the announcements in cricket and rugby are also stupid?

Nothing wrong with ref’s clarifying their decisions.

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.

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.
