I meant the FAs that have a public explanation of all VAR decisions.Where? In which sports are match officials interviewed on live TV straight after games?
That isn't what was being talked about though, it was about officials being interviewed after the game.I meant the FAs that have a public explanation of all VAR decisions.
You said, "Absolutely think there should be statements made after games, or perhaps even videos of the referees explaining why they made a particular decision, but a TV interview straight after the game wouldn't be any help whatsoever"That isn't what was being talked about though, it was about officials being interviewed after the game.

I was agreeing with the first bit of the sentence. It might not be what you had in mind, but I had this is mind:

I keep saying the same thing, they aren't going to want to interview the referee on TV after a game if there were no mistakes, they would only want to do it if there was a perceived error. Then if the referee tries to explain why it was correct in law they will just shout over him, just as BT pundits did with Peter Walton for years and Soccer Saturday pundits are now doing with Mike Dean.
I want there to be clarification after games, but not interviewing them after the game.
I’d really rather that our top flight refs get picked for their performance on the field rather than their ability to manage a press conference.I think it’s not fair to expect referees at the top to suddenly be able to communicate or do a presser after the game. It takes years of training. The MLS style voice over review videos are a really good interim tool. Meanwhile the next generation of top flight refs should get prepared.
Seen it a few times after a day's play in cricket test matches, where an umpire has agreed to appear on screen to explain/clarify a decision, but it's a very rare exception.Where? In which sports are match officials interviewed on live TV straight after games?
Erasmus came on Sky to explain the Mitchell Starc Catch during the Ashes. And whilst the aussies didn't exactly agree with it, they seemed to accept his explanation to some extent.Seen it a few times after a day's play in cricket test matches, where an umpire has agreed to appear on screen to explain/clarify a decision, but it's a very rare exception.

My point being, football fans don't seem to accept many other views other than their own when it's the team they support. Hence why something like Erasmus during the ashes, wouldn't work after a game in the premier league.
Yeah I completely agree but then it comes down to who's allowed to ask the questionsNot just fans. Look at how many times managers have been asked ridiculous questions in post-match interviews, and even walked away some times. If a referee was asked such a question they can't exactly refuse to answer or walk away.
