       Interesting audio of the discussion happening when Michael
       Oliver awarded Chelsea the penalty in the FA Cup final -

       Fascinating Readingfan.  Thanks for the link.
       Michael Oliver was certainly communicative.  That sort of quick
       break requires top fitness and alertness from a referee and I
       think M.O. demonstrated that in spades in that example.
       Noticed he used first names to tell United players to stay out
       of the area.

       Just been watching that & it's brilliant. Very informative &
       nice to see in the comments on the thread about how positive it
       has been accepted by ordinary non ref fans, a few of whom say
       how much respect it has given them towards referees.
       Ref Fan - these guys work with the players week in week out.
       They will develop working relationships. No problem at all
       calling them by their first names, as they did to him as well.
       He's spent several years earning their respect professionally.

       I've said for years that the referees should be mic'ed up so
       that viewers can hear them or at the very least the audio should
       be made available either at half-time or after the game.
       I think that examples such as this and those released during the
       World Cup are hugely beneficial and Michael Oliver communicated
       excellently with the players - calm and clear throughout.
       Who were the others on the video? There appears to be another
       official who shouts 'DOGSO DOGSO' when the penalty is first
       given and then someone other than Oliver (not sure if the same
       person or not?) who is later saying 'genuine attempt for the
       ball inside the penalty area'

       I suspect it was the AR at that end, whoever that was.

       White subtitles are Michael
       Yellow subtitles are the assistant referee - judging by height,
       I think it's Ian Hussin (rather than Lee Betts who was the other
       assistant).
       Pink subtitles are Neil Swarbrick - the VAR

       It was reported in several daily papers including the Telegraph,
       Mail and Sun printing the various conversations and pictures.
       Unfortunately, in the ones I saw, the "DOGSO, DOGSO' comments
       were attributed to the VR rather than the AR.

       It's still dogso, it's just not red. So the importance of
       recognising the dogso is still there (eg if he chose to push him
       rather than tackle him), and the cue to switch on to it is not
       uncommon.
