I don't know if anyone else has noticed but I for one am sick and tired of hearing the refs shouting HOLD HOLD MOVE MOVE SERRENDER ,I cannot hear any crowd noise cannot hear the commentators ,just hear very annoying refs shouting,its certainly spoiling this great comp.

Agreed I posted the same on twitter, it's so annoying I just wish someone would shove it where the sun don't shine

yes I agree ,glad someone else agrees with me ,im just watching the usa v wal game now
and you know I cant hear the ref ,maybe they took heed.

Let's not have refs at all. That would make everything better.

Crack on lads play the game without a ref, amount of folk at games shouting "get em off him, etc" at least you can hear when its a surrender tackle.
its the tv folk that have decided how much of the ref you hear

tonights game eng v france
the ref was as load as ive eveer heard them surely something must be done to stop this irritating shouting by the refs

I have complained to prem sport and im about to complain to bbc sport and sky ,its spoiling this great comp

I think it is a good thing. We can all hear what the ref is saying to the players and this helps when he then makes a decision because we have heard how he has warned them. I would rather hear what the ref is saying than listen to Eddie and Stevo.

its not explaining to the players or warning them that im against,its this constant hold hold move move at every tackle very load which is so annoying.
