There are no plans to make live communication between VAR officials public because it would be "chaotic" to listen to, says the International Football Association Board.
It seems ridiculous that multiple people are talking over each other. Why does it need to be a panel discussion? Before VAR, it was a one person decision. Now the only additional component is that there is video and there should just be an experienced referee talking to broadcasters requesting for angles and then communicating with the referee.
Regarding safety, I am somewhere in the middle. Football hooliganism is at a high and showed itself in France this weekend. More communication provdes more ammunition.

I don’t think they can win here. If it was one guy making the decision there would be at least as many mistakes and they’d be slaughtered for having only one person reviewing things.
