I can’t really work out, judging by some of the comments made on this forum, whether people are objecting to him speaking out at all or there is objection to the manner of his input. Personally I haven’t found anything really objectionable so far.
I think it's acceptable to discuss refereeing mistakes. (I suggested before that the silly ban on discussing referees was a big part of the Sonia controversy)
I'd like to see NO take a wider view. At the moment he seems to comment mainly on the controversial incidents (and the controversial ones are - let's face it - when a mistake may have been made)
This is exactly what every other commentators talk about and his voice blends in with all the other commentators, save that we pay more attention because he is a great ref (although not necessarily a Laws nause)
I'd like him to perhaps show some special insights .. perhaps there were moments of great refereeing , or great game management that he could see, but passed most people by. Perhaps he would have insights into the ref / captain dynamics
What were the challenges to the ref ? What were the key moments
To he fair Kaplan does a bit of that
But NO is new to this game, he will get better
(I have to admit i do enjoy his blokey light-hearted YouTube videos !)
