I can only assume the saying "okay" for each pass is for the touch judges or video refs. Because it's not necessary for the players.

Some of the talk is unnecessary like when they say "no penalties" etc. That's not needed, nor is the "hold". It should be up to the players to move up after the ball has been played. Not the ref to tell them.

Other things like telling a player not to get involved is just sensible and helps the game.

Most of the ref's talk is needed, but it could be cut down a little.

I agree with you completely. I didn't even watch Leeds' game today when I saw it was Mr Bean reffing.
Can't stand Thaler either with his okay, okay, okay after almost every pass and every kick.

The reason the ref makes the call to the players is quite simple, to cut down on the amount of penaltys in a game.

If you are getting annoyed with the referees talking, I do believe modern day technology came up with a solution called the "mute button".

The mute button will have to come with instructions to these simpletons. They haven't got a clue about the game they follow unbelievable.

So, anyone with a different opinion to you is a simpleton? You're an idiot.

Not at all but the questions are quite obvious to understand

I see calling refs about there decisions is a matter of opinion. But being personal about about a ref isn't aceptable so simpleton I think you may find your the idiot or the one who hides behind his keyboard or who shouts on the terraces but in real life runs away at the first hint of trouble.

Clown.

Haha, Christ almighty what on Earth are you whittering on about?

Brain dead

imbecile

If the match officials are having to tell the players how to play, then what chance is there?
It's ALWAYS the players who are the problem yet it's just like the emporours new clothes with far too many.
I wish the match officials kept quiet and only were heard when explaining the "correct " decision. It may take a while but being constantly penalised may force the players to read and Understand the rules and the coaches, and perhaps even some fans but that is a step too far perhaps

The one good thing about the refs mic is that you get to hear which refs have the better communication/banter with the players. It shows you that Thaler is miles ahead of someone like Child in that department.
