Do you think they should implement pre/post match interviews and press conference for referees? (alien.top)

We see happening for players and managers before games, right after games moments after they enter the tunnel and after games in a formal setting... Should we do this for refs too?

The common rebuttal has always been “would you want to hear from the ref if we’ve had a boring game?” Which basically goes back to them really only being asked to justify bad calls.

Instead they should just live broadcast all VAR communications on TV (I don’t think it’d be practical to do in the stadium), that way every decision has context and nothing can be hidden.

I think it’s fair to say we deserve accountability, not justification.
