Referee boss Knut Kircher can imagine showing moving pictures in the stadium in order to make decisions of the referees more understandable.
The DFB apparently plays with the thought after more transparency in the implementation of the video referee Var. After the current test phase for the stadium announcement “Inevitably deal with the idea of whether a next step would not be possible and useful”said the sports director of DFB Schiedsrichter GmbH Knut Kircher at a media appointment on Tuesday: “And yes, maybe also show moving pictures.”
The prerequisite for this would be that one “Evaluation says, ‘yes, that was good, that ensured the desired effect'” “”. Kircher trusts this step to the DFB referees. “I don’t have to protect a referee from moving pictures, he doesn’t have to do it technically”said the 56-year-old. The implementation could be made from the background.
“Show the scenes of everything”
Bundesliga referee Robert Schröder also sees the possible innovation. The newly introduced stadium announcements are for the feeling of the audience “Added value”but: “I believe that giant transparency does not arrive at the viewer, but that it also needs moving images on the stadium screens.“
In controversial scenes in the gray area, there could also be a different opinion for fans, “Of course, which of course also makes the mood, but basically I think if you want to have transparency, showing the scenes on video screen is the basis of everything.”
