How do teams know when they are playing an end of season 'dead rubber' ?? ... I think we have found our answer!!

“Remember Wayne, no swearing today.”

Big surprise as Fernandez omitted from starting 11.

I mean United still have 4 games to play. They could mathematically finish 5th.

"head mounted" so I'm hoping for something like this...

Hadn’t seen this so was so confused when I opened RefChat and saw a thread for this match.

Assumed we were just pre empting some poor VAR calls tonight

On an actual note, Gillett is quite interesting to give it to, only because I swear he was the guy mic’d up in the A League that time

He was indeed. Can't count how many times I've watched that footage - very interesting.

Can't see that happening, especially if it shows players abusing Gillett and it going unpunished...unless it's heavily edited and muted as I doubt the Premier League would want a repeat of the absolute cluster f that was Millwall Vs Arsenal in the '80s!

Ref mic'd up!

 

[Gabriel]

Can't see that happening

I understand why they'd be hesitant, but they have said they will release it (taken from statement):
fans will be able to view it later in the year as part of a programme being produced by Premier League Productions (PLP) aimed at offering further insight and education into the demands of officiating in the Premier League.

I'm not interested in the experiment in the slightest FWIW
I'm against anything that makes the R the potential 'star of the show'

I don't like when this happens either but that isn't their objective. They are trying to educate people on the physical and mental demands of officiating, not make PL refs celebrities.

Maybe you're right. Perhaps the motivation is OK, but it promotes the overall idea of bodycams which I'm fundamentally against. Behaviour could be improved (transformed over a generation), but the powers that be aren't motivated to tackle the issue head-on. Which is a shame, because improvement is achievable without these whims if the game wasn't so sh1t scared about the risk to viewing figures

Didn't he do a cam and mic job for his last Aussie game?

 

[Viridis1886]

They released the audio. Some of the audio.

Forget Gillett's cam footage, best thing to come from this match was that I am still crying with laughter after watching Mark Goldbridge's vids of his post-match analysis and epic meltdown about Man Utd's disallowed goal!

 

[Gabriel]

The Premier League have released a few clips of the camera footage from the match, including VAR audio. I have to say I'm surprised they released it so quickly!

Video from Gillett's 'RefCam' at Palace v Man Utd released

For the first time, fans can watch a match from the ref's point of view ahead of a one-off programme later in the year

We know he’s a great communicator from the Oz footage. I guess the question is if the rest of the group are broadcastable (for next season)?

Hilarious that a top flight ref faces the same player stupidity as we do: captain forgets his one job, striker hasn’t noticed who will kick off!

The in-game footage is really very good. The secret is out! It will be amazing for recruitment. A lot of people will realize (some more reasons) why we do it.

 

[Viridis1886]

A lot of people will realize (some more reasons) why we do it.

But they probably won't show the bits that are the most frustrating, the ones that show the true behaviour of some players, or the reasons why some folks decide to shelve the whistle.
