its quite funny sometimes because when a refs voice is going. when he shouts move it sounds like a herd of cows.

i thought the idea of it was so that SKY viewers could hear what he was saying to the players, the only time you want to hear the ref, when he is talking to the players or explaining a decision etc, you can't hear him because of the waffling from the commentary box!

According to League Weekly the other day, refs are asking that from next year they can't be heard on sky.

Occasionally my uninterested wife comes in from the other room, shouts "Moooove" at me and then moves on herself to make a cup of tea. Love it.

Spot on IMO.

The hold and move stuff you can cut out, though even that is more informative than much of the stuff Stevo comes out with. What is being said to players is interesting though and often puts the refs [and the odd player]in a totally new light. If it's too much bother to turn it up and down, then you can leave it as it is, for me.
