Re: Michael Oliver - FA Cup final

The Times reproduced it in full today. I'm not about to copy it
across but some of the conversation strikes me as a bit bizarre,
for example:
Ashley Young asks for the use of VAR
Referee: "VAR looks at it already, VAR looks at it anyway, it
happens anyway".
or
Assistant Referee: "DOGSO, DOGSO, Michael"
or
Pogba searches for a pass in midfield
Referee: " Miss me Paul"
Times suggests that the footage released by NBC is 'fascinating'
but I am not sure I agree, and I certainly don't think anything
useful would be gained by being able to hear this sort of
conversation via a mic system.

Did you hear the audio?
Most of it is very insightful - obviously not every comment
would have been intended for broadcast (such as the 'Miss me
Paul' line) but the response to it from the general public
suggests the benefit it offered.
Martin Keown on the BBC questioned why it wasn't a red card at
the time and many people watching might have been unsure -
Oliver's explanation was assertive, clear and immediate. It
showed him in full control of the situation and making a
definitive and accurate judgement, supported in a timely measure
by VAR.

I was interested to see/hear this so googled it and found a link
on The S*n website. Appreciate some (all?) won't want to click
it but I'll link it just in case.

No I didn't, as I couldn't access it at the time. Point taken,
thank you.
