Is it proper for referee to put on wireless earphone in the pitch?

[LOVER BOY 422]

I have come to notice that there's a foul play between referees and the host of footballs because for a referee to put on earphones on the pitch when match is going on I don't think is good , because bribe might sets in ,who is he communicating with or does the referee don't know his work and time he should be cut off match on half time or fall time,this has been given me concerns because we have been hearing of fixed matches and correct scores I think referees are the course of some things, putting on earphones 🎧 on the pitch is very bad , because what they tell him to do with the personnels of football that watch from the office that he must do right ?

Lets look into this, is it right for a referee to put on wireless earphone on the pitch or Field,I think a great communication will be going on while we don't know what is happening,I suspect something is wrong somewhere,they should sanction them not to put on earphones anymore

I think you are just overthinking and your assumption could be wrong, because if its illegal it will not be allowed by the league itself.
There's a purpose why they are wearing that.

What will be the reason though? I mean if you are a fan then you know what's the referee is calling for, maybe you don't like it but that's how it is. Not just in Football, but in NBA coaches can dispute the call and if the referee see that they made a wrong call then they are going to overturn it. Not sure if this can be applied to Football or the league itself will allow it inside of having mic or wireless earphone or anything that we can access and hear as what the referee is doing. I think it's too much though. Of course, there could be a wrong call, but as what we say, their decision is final.

Yes that what am saying,since their decision is always final they are not supposed to put on earphones anymore,but I strongly believe someone in the office that is also using that same wireless earphone can talk to him to make a wrong decision,and when he take the decision that's is final ,but we don't actually understand where we are going yet

[danherbias07]

Is this a professional game? Because if it is, then I doubt they are violating anything. They cannot put earphones or headsets if it's in their rules, which just means it's there for a reason. It is allowed by the league, and there must be a purpose for it.

According to Google, it's to communicate with the other referees since they are far away from each other. 

Actually, I just found out that the NBA will also start using earpieces for the referees, and there are phases before they start to fully implement it.
https://www.nba.com/news/nba-referee-headset-communication-to-begin-nov-1

NEW YORK – The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced today that NBA referees will use headsets to communicate in real time with the NBA Replay Center and one another, beginning with games on Nov. 1.  The rollout is the first in a planned two-phased approach to utilize the new communication system, which is designed to improve game flow and enhance officiating accuracy.

what you should have first asked is what the referees are doing with the wireless earphone. if you knew what they are doing with the wireless mic, it will not bother you at all when you see referee using wireless earphone. in modern football, the decision of games are not just solely determined by the central referee that is in charge of the game. the referee during the game communicates with the linesmen to get their view on certain decision, communicates with the video assistant referee when there is a need to and such model of communication is likely monitored such that everything is fair to a reasonable extent.

match fixing is more complex that what can be done using wireless earphone. it usually involves smart means that is difficult for a third party to even dictate.

This is pretty much standard nowadays for referees to wear wireless earpieces... It's a communication system they use to talk with all assistant referees, including the fourth referee... I guess it's easier & faster than watching them running around the field for a short meeting.

In professional leagues & tournaments, the referee communication is protected and recorded.

There might be some truth in what he is saying. You know we are not part of the officials and who they communicate to sometimes we do not know except the telecommunication team, VAR and other section he is allowed to.

Obviously he is refereeing to that device.
It can be configured for personal purpose. Meaning it can be personalised to serve and extend communication to multiple person.

Nowadays, football has become a sport with a lot of technology, and to achieve the fairest possible results, VAR was introduced. There's a room where the VAR officials work, and this room is quite far from the referee. Therefore, the referee needs to wear headphones so that whenever a situation requiring VAR intervention arises, the VAR can carefully analyze it and communicate with the referee so they can also review it and make the best decision. For example, in penalty cases where the referee isn't nearby, but the VAR saw it, the VAR will call the referee to review and make a decision. There's nothing wrong with referees wearing headphones.

There is nothing wrong if a refree puts on a ear plug, as that is not a good reason to judge if he is manipulating the match, if refree decide to recieve bribe as you have Said don't you think he can decide to take it and still go wireless in the pitch? Don't you think a match can be fixed before the reff comes to the pitch and with or without ear plug he can still decide to do a foul play by making the game end as it has been fixed. In my own understanding that is a microphone and it could be used to communicate with the control room in a situation where the reff can't judge clearly, it can be communicated to the camera room to be reversed for clarity, I don't know if am right but if for any reason the ear phone or microphone is worn is to use for communication within them reff, the flag man and the control room..

Even the NBA is requiring their referees to wear headphones.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25274683-nba-referees-begin-wearing-headsets-communicate-replay-center-during-games

NBA is taking steps to modernize its replay review process.
The league announced Friday that starting with Saturday's games all officials will use headsets to communicate with the NBA Replay Center.

Those at the other end of those earpiece or headphones are a bunch of people hired by the league to monitor the games and check any fouls or whatnots in a more advanced manner that the naked eye might not see. This allows for a quicker and more accurate game calls. Whether you like it or not, this is the new era of sports. Technology everywhere.

Well, with or without tools, if they want to do something fishy, they will do it so I think it's not a major big deal but of course being cautious while watching the game is a must. If the calls are pretty obvious then people or the sports community should call it out but again, communications within the whole game is a must, it will make them stay on the same page while observing games like fouls or any game features. You'll obviously know it when referees trying to target those major players but if not then it's specifically for communications.

Also, there's not rules against wearing wireless communication and besides, I've searched that it's a standard tool to use in some major leagues.

Those are worn by the referee to aid communication within the match period. Haven't you seen that it's very important in times when the Var has to be checked? We know that some of those refreee might be at foul play but those kind of things are done before the match it self to avoid it being suspicious. I mean, no body would be that careless to put his career on the line, it would be obvious and sooner or later would be exposed.You are like others have said over thinking the whole thing. Those wires are used to communicate with the control room, how else do you expect the refs to get in touch with them, when there's a foul play.

[Dunamisx]

I have come to notice that there's a foul play between referees and the host of footballs because for a referee to put on earphones on the pitch when match is going on I don't think is good , because bribe might sets in

The main purpose of the use of ear piece by the referees during match is to be able to effect a communication with the technical team who are monitoring every activities behind the scene on the screen, so that they can easily and quickly call the attention of the referee if needs be over an urgent situation that needs to be readdress, almost all the refs uses ear piece, they dare not connect it to their phones, instead they make use of it being connected as a walkie talkie.

Am wondering what should they discuss again on the pitch ,is just like exam hall after the teacher has been teaching you guys now,on the exam hall your started discussing, discussing what exactly,tli sence a big foul play between referees and the office personnels they can do anything within their reach,did you know that most whistle referee blows is coming from that personnel directly in that office.
But you and I will think Is just nothing but is something.

I want you to know that what ever piece of device or clothing is worn in the pitch of any sport has been approved by the regulatory body of that sport. And any official or player is in violation of that, they will be made to pay a fine. As a for the refeers, their penalty for defaulting may be graver than a player.

[rakebit]

Yes, its proper wireless earpieces are standard for referees now to stay connected with assistants and VAR officials. It helps make faster and more accurate calls, especially in big matches. The only concern is ensuring no external interference that could affect decisions.

Do you think VAR communication has improved consistency, or made things more confusing for fans?

[Ever-young]

I think you are just overthinking and your assumption could be wrong, because if its illegal it will not be allowed by the league itself.
There's a purpose why they are wearing that.

Possibly to receive information from the VAR team. No matter how vigilant a referee is, it’s impossible for him to take note of every single activities going on on the pitch, and so needs extra help from others who are possibly not around him, and whenever they observe something, they don’t necessarily have to run to the pitch to tell them what they observed, thus the purpose of the earphones. There’s really no big deal about that in my opinion.

Actually, wearing earphones is not illegal. The way you think is not reasonable. There is a rule of legal use for the referee to use earphones in his ears on the football field, due to which the referee is using earphones in his ears, but he is not making any illegal decisions by using earphones and he is not giving illegal decisions. If there were any cases of cheating in the use of earphones or there were reports of doing something illegal, then of course, when the game was organized, the referee's use of earphones would have been discussed between the coaches of both teams and the players and the use of earphones would have been prohibited.

On sports fields such as football matches, the main obstacle for referees in communication is crowd noise. During the match, referees are required to have instant communication and coordination without interference. set in the field with maximum without interference for it Wireless earphones are one of the best things to use.

It's not without reason that referees are required to use wireless earphones, apart from the comfortable design, these tools are also free to use without cables, are waterproof and easy to communicate effectively, so clearly wireless earphones help referees in their actions, it would be ridiculous if wireless earphones were suspicious.
