Stevie_J Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's about time. The way players get away with behaving towards officials in football is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfluff1985 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 In baseball you can have a proper slanging match with an umpire but as soon as you touch him in the slightest you're out the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I look forward to Wayne Rooney getting a red the next time he visibly tells an official to :censored: off during a live game...never gonna happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's about time. The way players get away with behaving towards officials in football is ridiculous. This a thousand times, although what Palmer says will most probably be the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they do to set an example, but as you say it won't happen. They will probably give leniency to stars, but clamp down on lower division players.

Oafc88 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm fairly sure we've had similar talk regarding shoving/shirt pulling in the box in pre-seasons gone past and thats never improved. I'll believe it when I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Referees deserve the flack. Most decisions are fuelled by ego and incompetence especially at our levellike this huge tosspot Also they always get away with it, no punishment and if a manager or player speaks out they're banned and fined? :censored:ing barmy.

The referee was quite clearly a bell end there though, wait until attack comes to nothing and blow or until they score. Probably cost Accrington promotion that.
