Live audio of VAR decisions would be 'chaotic' - Ifab

There are no plans to broadcast live video assistant referee communication because it would be too "chaotic" to listen to and potentially create "an unsafe environment for referees".

Last month, Luis Diaz wrongly had a goal disallowed for offside as Liverpool lost 2-1 to Tottenham, and the VAR audio for that decision was subsequently released.

The International Football Association Board (Ifab) believes fans should be informed of decisions, but not hear them being made live.

"I categorically say no, they shouldn't," Ifab secretary and chief executive Lukas Brud told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast's Rick Edwards.
