I can see where your coming from, but it wouldn't do the game any good, the decisions have been made right or wrong, take the hand ball the the day all the ref has to say i wasn't 100% as i didn't have a clear view.
Referees shouldn't be put in front of the camera to say, ok I got it wrong. It's human error, why should he be hung out to dry because FIFA, UEFA and the FA refuse to help them, with various methods which have been available and been used in other sports for years now?
Coming out and saying, I made a mistake, would give the sheep, the buffoons, the chance to criticise the referees further.
Was trying to sum up what I was thinking into words, but TOOR did it for me
Why do they not have audible microphones for us to hear, like in rugby?
1. We could hear them explain their decisions during the game.
2. The 'Respect the Referee' campaigns would actually work - if players are forced to address the ref as 'Sir,' and any backchat (which we could hear) would be instantly carded.
Some may argue that all we would hear is effin' and blindin' coming through our televisons, but if a really strict stance is taken against complaining, it would work.

Yeah all well and good mate, but the decision has been made.

That isn't the point of this article, nor is it the point of my comment.
In-game explanations are better than post-match interviews.
The whistle blows
We all shout 'eff of ref'
The ref grabs the player, explains to him (and us) why he stopped play
We say 'fair enough'
The game continues.
Referees have become too much of a talking point, and have no way to defend themselves. I'd much rather talk about the football.
Wengers Philosophy Teacher
But at what point would the ref book a player for back chat, the refs are inconsistent as it is, we have tried the 10 yard rule after back chat and that failed, as some refs accept more back chat than others.
What TOOR and Wengers Philosophy Teacher have said are very good points.
TOOR I did say that there would be some people that wont understand and will never be happy with any sort of explanation whether it be post-match interviews or in-game mic explanations as Wengers Philosophy Teacher said, but for anyone with a decent amount of common sense and intelligence I feel it would be better than nothing at all. I completely agree that referees shouldn't be made out to be some sort of scape-goat but then you could say why should managers and players be subject to it too?
Wengers Philosophy Teacher, I think what you said could work quite well, but to be fair the governing bodies of football don't seem to want to do anything to improve the state of the game, the only thing they have done is added the extra official in European matches, but that has the same limitations as the original 3 officials that are in the game.

Sadly, I don't think anything that could actually change the game significantly will ever be introduced by the big wigs.
They always talk about the size and power of the Premier League and the Champs League. However, as soon as someone suggests something like goal-line technology, they bang on about grass-roots, and how any change must be implemented throughout the game.
All the talk about exceptional players/matches/teams, so why not introduce exceptional regulations?!
The officials added to the buy line, is an absolute joke. I have yet to see any of them make a decision. I can't remember which game it was but recently a player went down in the box, right in front of the buyline official and he didn't do a thing. So why is he there? Is he just watching the game? One referee is enough. Bring in video. It's worked for every other sport.
WPT: They just don't like change for whatever reason, everyone knows that goal line technology is a must but they just keep coming out with ridiculous reasons as to why it isn't a good idea such as it will take too much time, the technology takes literally seconds so that is a load of bull, if they truly think it will take too long then why not give the managers a certain amount of times to challenge like in tennis.
TOOR: The added officials are useless, as you said I haven't seen them add anything to the referees decisions, I think the most I think the most I have seen them do is give a corner/goal kick.
Players are paid,say, £50,000 to £120,000 a week; managers are paid, say, £100,000,a week, funded by sky. Part of the deal is they do interviews.
Referees are paid 1% of those sums.
But here's the real reason: do the teams want the refs saying what they really think.
If it is ok for the player to blame the ref, then why shouldn't the ref blame the players? Here's the kind of conversation you'd have:
Sky TV: "Wasn't the yellow card on Jones harsh?"
Referee: "Well he called me a c**t earlier, so he got off lightly for that"
Referees should absolutely be made interview and explain decisions... it might throw some clarity on the amount of nonsense decisions the mancs get year in year out and make referees more accountable
