Get those refs to officiate in the UK first and foremost. Common fucking sense.
Things that annoy you in football Part 21,058...
Captains whining and moaning and running after referees, then pointing to their armbands as if that were a Get Out of Jail Free card that allowed you to act the cunt.

Seeing and hearing the conversations would certainly promote clarity and transparency. It wouldn't necessarily correct all errors, but it would allow us into the thoughts behind decisions. I'm all for it.
It would also keep player behaviour in line if they were aware they could be heard on tv.
Seems to me the only downside is the refs being held accountable for their decision making
Bruno being one of the worst imv
Definitely dodged a bullet there if the transfer stories are true
Thing is; using the W-WC final as an example.... It didn't prevent any further debate over the Spanish handball claim..... All it really does is calm the fans inside the stadium until they get hone and see the replays.
Fundamentally, the decision making needs to be consistent and punished where appropriate.
Also; do away with the fucking pitch-side monitor bullshit.
Lastly if you have to spend 5 mins reviewing an incident in slow motion then it's not a "clear & obv" error... See Brentford/Son penalty.

Well yes - ideally I'd do away with the entire farce that is VAR interaction. Two wrongs don't make a right, as is proven every single weekend.
I'm was anti VAR before it was brought in. Now; I'm pro-VAR as i can see that it SHOULD work..... I just think they're doing a shit job of it.
That just solidifies my thought that the two bodies, VAR and the refs should be two separate entities consisting of people unrelated to each other.
You'd be creating a monster in the non-refereeing body.
The idea that a referee cannot be relied upon and accountable for officiating the game as they've done for 200 years is just nonsense.
That’s not what I said. You have the current on pitch referees and then you just train up and appoint a whole new set of refs solely for VAR. People who’ve never worked with each other before. Then there’s no conflict of interest likes what’s happened ever since it was brought in.
Just ditch var, it is and always will be shit
