midds Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Liverpool were doing that today, and I was watching, waiting for Enrique to do it. New rule: the only players who are allowed to instigate a conversation with the referee are the captains. Punishment = immediate yellow card. Problem stops within a month. Grey area, though, what's deemed 'instigating a conversation'? A player might instictively say "ah, come on ref" or "I never touched him" or whatever and that's a booking? That's too excessive imo. I agree that the crowding round refs needs to stop etc, and that the only players involved should be the player the ref wishes to speak to and the captain - but a rule like that would stomp the life out of a game. You should be allowed to appeal for a decision respectfully - often if you don't ask, you don't get. That's a yellow under my rules. You keep your mouth shut. 'Instinctively' doesn't come into it. It'll take a month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 That's crazy, if they're legitimately giving abuse fair enough, even swearing, but just a conversation is not worthy of a yellow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Imagine players been sent off for shouting "come on ref" man It's one of those things where there cannot be a black and white rule, the referee has to use his head, and if he feels certain players are going over the top and preventing him from officiating the game they should be carded.

Taylor Swift Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Liverpool were doing that today, and I was watching, waiting for Enrique to do it. New rule: the only players who are allowed to instigate a conversation with the referee are the captains. Punishment = immediate yellow card. Problem stops within a month. Yup. I agree with this, but the first couple of weekends would be a complete farce. We'd have players being sent off in every match and the FA and the refs in general would take an insane amount of criticism. If they were resolute then I agree that it would stop within a month, but the FA haven't shown leadership in any key areas so far so this will never happen, and if it does, they would probably give up on it after the first few red cards.

Exactly. It would need a few weeks of farce to bed in. Teams finishing with 7 men and conceding 6 or 7 etc. If there's a grievance it goes through the captain. The players complain to their captain who takes it to the ref. The stupid 'come on ref' is eliminated and the game flows without the officials being sworn at/abused/hassled. Players need to show respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertCommunicator Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 In cricket players don't gob off at the umpires. Because they would get smashed if they did. I understad the heat of the moment thing, but running 30 yards up to the ref and calling him a fucking cunt is just unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertCommunicator Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Referees. Seriously. All of them. Corrupt and/or deeply inept. There are small children in Amazonian tribes yet to make contact with modern humans who could referee a game better than this bunch of bell ends. The sort of people who possess the magical combination of being completely s*** at what they do AND who you would have bullied in the playground for being total twats. Why not give it a go then? This. Wherever you are, there'll be plenty of FA refereeing courses to do within a reasonable distance. The top refs get paid very good money, if you're so much better, do it. Unfortunately, I already have a well paid job. However, I don't have a lot of free time to do FA courses. I would love to turn up and just ref a match, but I have no real will to do it at a high level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 The lack of perspective of some fans. Just seen some footage of Arsenal fans at the Man U game on Sunday. Some of them were openly crying because they got twatted. Just got me wondering how they'd react if they had to spend a season battling relegation in the bottom 6 every week. They've never been relegated in their history, they're in the Champions League for the 14th season in a row and they've got a squad full of Internationals. They lost a game and it reduced them to tears. Soft as fucking shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the same token, how dare you express anger and sadness at one relegation when Plymouth are falling away into nothingness. Everything is relative.
