Cabal. Imagine banning someone for calling a spade a spade…
He’s not wrong
If footballers ‘get paid enough to deal with abuse’ then the refs ‘get paid enough’ to take being called a few choice names by the players, especially when they’ve fucked up.
Should have said puta madre instead
Damn I must be banned for 500 games
Count?
Count?
Might be unpopular on here but the whole culture around refs is fucking toxic and needs to change. They may well be shite and may well make tons of mistakes but if they let this sort of abuse slide then what example does it make for the dwindling numbers of refs who have to put up with shite up and down the pyramid for little to no money.
The decision wasn’t even that controversial and then he has the check to abuse the fourth official who didn’t do anything.
Even as a ref hater, it should be longer
I dream of Rugby style officiating in this sport one day.
Good. Set a precedent that you can’t just be an ass to an official. Maybe it can stop So many players to whine over the smallest things. As a referee myself we m glad to see something is done
Harsh, Called the ref a champ and got a 2 game ban.
Why did I read that at 2 months?
He wasn’t wrong..
Have they provided any information to the contrary?
Banned for speaking facts? What is this world
Most protected people in the country
I mean… is he wrong?
He is all of us
Legend. Also, bad precedent. Refs are to be respected, but this is getting ridiculous. Stop making bad calls
What was he complaining about? Clear red card.
Game’s gone smh
Say it again to Micheal Oliver for us next time
As annoyed as I get with refs (and it’s becoming a weekly occurrence) we can’t tolerate language and behaviour like this.
Premier League players a looked up to by impressionable youth and stuff like this is the reason why grassroot referees are treated like dirt.
The performance of referees needs to drastically improve – particularly at the top level. But let’s retain our common decency.
