    Excellent link to a tremendous discussion on several topics: UEFA use of Additional Assistant Referees (AAR), basics of referees and communication within the three-man team, and general topics of interest as it pertains to technology in officiating. Thanks so much, Jan, for sharing.

    What I appreciate most about this are the comments from the former coach and former player: when officiating is transparent and clearly explained, there is very little protest. FIFA does not do a good job of “public relations” when laws change, when new technology is introduced, or when new techniques are implemented. It benefits both the players and fans to know. But most importantly, it benefits the referee team, who are always subject to criticism, for everyone to know what their standards are.

    More transparency equals less dissent and criticism.
