Well exactly mistakes are made by all sorts of people in all sorts of situations.so what?
we need to stop excusing this behaviour. so the ref made a mistake. big wow. he doesn't deserve to be treated like that
every kid in the country is watching the biggest starts of the premier league acting like that and guess what, it filters down to grassroots football and now no one wants to be a referee anymore
we need to stop saying 'aye he he reacted bad, BUT the ref made a bad call'
theres no excuse for it. ever.
if you think the ref has purposely made a bad call then walk off the pitch and accuse him of corruption
I haven't seen other incident but did he get booked or sent off....!
If not why not....?
One rule for one and one rule for another....!!!
Imagine if Haaland missed a last minute sitter and the ref or anyone else for that matter started giving him loads of grief on the field.
Said this before the culture is nothing short of f***ing ridiculous
Well thanks for your reply mate but can't you read ...? I did state that I haven't seen the incident.....!Do you honestly think that would be even in the slightest terms that booking him would be feasible in that situation? He realised he'd ballsed up big time. It's just not realistic to consider that the ref would book him thete. It's just not how these things work in reality.

Not the point as to what was feasible... They as referees should stick to the rules and the laws of the game irrelevant of the injustice.
So what you saying it's ok to have a go at the ref if he has balls it up....????
We need continuity in the game and refs should be stuck to it... Regardless.....!!!!!
No Middle aged bloke doing something he must love for a bit of pocket money should be assaulted or verbally abused, I’m not even going to say at kids football,it’s any football. Any meat head needs to learn no Ref no game. Kids need to learn right from wrong and that every decision won’t go your way, that needs drilling in from the parents. Not a parent scudding a referee over not agreeing. Pisses me off.Time for the strike. Let's call it a day.
As an amateur football REFEREE of sixteen years experience, I have loved reading the various opinions on this fans forum.
I am 60 and simply LOVE REFEREEING, OK I am not under the scrutiny of REFEREE'S in the professional game. But amateurs players and youth footballers, all have opinions about REFEREE'S. When you give decisions which favours one team, you are "THE BEST REFEREE", but if you don't give decisions in favour of one team the abuse starts.
In my level of football we have "THE SIN BIN", which relates to abusive players arguing with the REFEREE'S decisions and you can SIN BIN players for ten minutes. Which when their team are down to ten players might make the guilty player. Think about their actions. If I give the same player another SIN BIN in the same game. The guilty player is NOT allowed to return to the field of play after the ten minute SIN BIN period, but his team are permitted to replace the guilty player. Currently "THE USE OF THE SIN BIN", is being debated in the professional game.
Also this season at all levels of football only the captain and one other player can question the REFEREE, should they not like a certain decision by the REFEREE. If other players surround the REFEREE they can be booked. The same as kicking the ball away when a player has clearly heard the REFEREE blow for a foul or offside as an example.
All REFEREE'S at all levels have more powers of authority this season.
Interesting point someone raised on handball. It is always a contentious point. I only award a free kick or penalty if I believe that the action of the guilty player is intentional or the arm is in an unnatural position and I would not give a free kick or penalty if the ball struck the player from close proximity.
Love the debate.
Always thought that it should only be the captain that can approach the ref and for the ref to invite any other player. Too many of the res we see just seem to be making the same mistakes week after week and it strikes me they probably don’t love it as much as you do!As an amateur football REFEREE of sixteen years experience, I have loved reading the various opinions on this fans forum.

I’ve always thought that if I was in 2-300k a week I’d shut up and behave tbh
Cos most footballers are needy arseholes?Why do other players need to approach the ref anyway?
I've never seen a ref change their mind when they've been confronted.
"Oh sorry Trippier you are right, it was a perfectly fine challenge. My mistake"
If only the players involved in the decision could be spoken to by the ref, and anyone else approaching got booked. It would soon stop
