CTA, willing to make VAR audios public

He Technical Committee of Referees willing to make public the field referee’s conversations with the referee of VAR which is in the Las Rozas VOR room.

A proposal that aims to try to calm the existing atmosphere in Spanish football and provide more transparency in the decisions made during matches. They understand that listening to these decisions reduces tension.

This proposal goes beyond what FIFA approved and allowed these dialogues to be heard in three monitor reviews at the Club World Cup in January and the recent Women’s World Cup.

In this case, it hears the entire dialogue between the field referee and the VAR in reviewing a play. To do this, a mandatory procedure is first required and requires approval and permission from IFAB (International Board) depends on FIFA itself. So far he has resisted allowing them to be heard except in the specific cases mentioned above. Something that hasn’t been asked for since CTA and it was not planned in the short term. Another thing is that, and within this rapprochement between the RFEF and the League, it was proposed. Although it is difficult for this to see the light of day because the International Board opposes these talks being listened to live. Even the CTA will study measures to provide all the transparency in the world in its decisions. We have to wait and see if this proposal finally succeeds and then wait for IFAB’s response.

Anger at Ricardo de Burgos

Significant anger and surprise are the words that describe the feeling prevailing in the refereeing establishment after the decision adopted yesterday by Ricardo de Burgos in Getafe – Cádiz.

The decision that also sets a very dangerous precedent and has nothing to do with the conduct and rules set by Technical Committee of Referees about the administration of arbitration.

It was in action before half time. In the corner kick where Ricardo de Burgos received a warning from VAR referee Hernández Maeso, before a possible red card from Getafe defender Djene. During the review, the Basque international referee showed him the yellow card, but since it was the second, he expelled the footballer from the Madrid team.

But everything happened later when Ricardo de Burgos decided to call the two coaches, José Bordalás and Sergio González, to explain to them on the field what happened in the play.

A decision of the international referee that has not been explained to the referee world concerns similar situations in the future where coaches request these explanations from the referee.

Last night Ricardo de Burgos did not act in accordance with the rules and regulations established by the Technical Committee of Referees regarding the way matches are managed.

This Friday meeting with all the referees

Come Friday when this action will be scrutinized like everything else that happened this last day. It is at the weekly meeting that all referees, assistants and VARs have. What happened in Celta-Sevilla or Valencia-Granada can also be seen on the table.
