I am Turkish referee in UK and having many matches as a level 5. I have a question for the UK referee : why do we need to explain the reason to players for every single caution? People dont do it in Turkey ? I want to know your ideas for this ?

Ref why is that a yellow? My response sometime is simply "because I said so" usually have blank faces after that

Where I am in Aus you don't have to. But if asked politely by a player , captain or coach/manager for any card then I give a short explaination. Its common courtesy. No debates though, one question , one answer.

The answer is, you don't have to. Who is telling you that you must?

Communication is key
And its a two way thing, how can I expect players to work with me if I cant be seen or heard to be working with them
9 times out of 10 am perfectly fine to talk, maybe say a SFP tackle or a VC that could result in a confrontation I can imagine me simply going, get off

Referees get questioned by the players on everything! Offsides, fouls, cards etc. Just give your answer and move on, they can choose to accept it or not but it doesn't matter

What I should also say is that I have seen guidelines suggesting that the referee should tell the player what they're being cautioned for and I'd say it's usually not too much of a problem if you do so - but it's not mandatory according to the Laws of the Game.

In the UK the expected cautioning procedure is to isolate the player. Take name. Advise being cautioned and the reason..warn as to future conduct.
Its not a lotg requirement but if you want to get anywhere, take note and follow the procedure.

See my previous post. As I said in it, I am aware of this procedure and you're right, it is expected in the UK - but there's nothing in the actual Laws of the Game that says you have to do it.

Talking to players during the game is a bit of a British thing. I know when I've refereed overseas players have often commented that I talk a lot during the game and that their local referees don't. There's nothing wrong with explaining decisions, including cautions, just don't over do it. Don't get into a debate about it, explain once then if they want to keep asking just walk or run away.

Just say USB, SPA (or equivalent)
Kills the conversation dead in my experience

 

[spuddy1878]

Make it a short and sweet conversation and only explain if asked correctly.

Or just reply why dont you concentrate on playing and let me concentrate on refereeing.

Then when they play a bad pass ask them why they over hit the pass
