       Referee Announcements
   DIR By: TA_Ref
       Date: October 27, 2025, 7:32 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Just a little topic to start the week off
       Do we think referee announcements are helping in game fan
       experience to understand VAR processes and decisions a lot more?
       In my opinion, I think it really does have its benefits in some
       situations. The incident yesterday in the Everton v Spurs game
       was a good one to be explained to the crowd, in terms of
       subjective offside (not that the Everton faithful decided to
       listen to Pawson that much). The penalty ‘on the line’ in the
       Brentford v Liverpool game as well is another type of incident
       that should be explained to the crowd.
       So I think this is working at the moment and is a benefit for
       fans in the league. How would you rate it so far?
       Also, who have we not heard from yet in terms of speaking to the
       crowd? I can think of Bramall, Harrington, Tierney (obviously
       through injury), Madley, Bankes and Salisbury

       Of the few games I've been watching on TV when the situation has
       occurred, I have to be honest and say I haven't picked up what
       the Referee actually says, what with the commentator and/or his
       companion babbling on over the top of what's being said plus
       crowd noise etc. Maybe the spectators in the ground hear it
       better?

       If that list is for this season - then Brooks is correctly on
       there.
