    you mean like this earlier in the season against us because they weren't getting their own way

    this is just intimidation of the ref, who or how many do you book here ?

    This intimidation of the officials does not happen in rugby. In fact, in union, the ref is called sir.

    I agree with the hardline approach. Players should not be allowed to do what they are currently.

    If there is an issue to be addressed then the captains of each team can discuss with the referee.

    Players should be booked if they act intimidating.

    As soon as that happens players will stop.

    Book everyone who is not involved or wearing the captain's armband. If that results in 8 yellow cards then so be it.

    Unless it's our club in which case the mental gymnastics and whataboutery will come into the equation.

    Nope, same for the Toon. Players of all clubs including ours should hold themselves to higher standards than toddlers having tantrums. It's not much to ask now is it?

    Unfortunately that's not how fans operate.

    I think fans would accept it pretty quick as long as the punishment was applied consistently.
    It would immediately turn into a farce if a ref didn't brandish the card

    Fans in general want it both ways is what I'm saying . I'm not disagreeing you mate I just know they can't override their emotional decision making in the main.

    the FA should get their act together and sort out the punishment if any to Robertson before
    the next round of games or at least issue a statement as to what they are doing about this
    the PGMOL had taken steps to remove the assistant from the next couple of games the next day

    Leeds play Liverpool on Monday and in the interest of fair play should know which players they are up against
    normally the FA act straight away but this seems to be put on the back burner

    Just a bit of banter petal... it's been quite the talking point in footy this week.

    Hopefully that winner in the 142nd minute of injury time won't be of any consequence and we'll sail into the CL :emoticon-0141-whew: That goal could be a real highlight for you lads this season, so I hope you enjoyed it.

    We don't really care about it tbh what we are really into is taking the place of famous historical clubs forever.

    Liverpool only have modern history.

    Before the 1974 FA Cup NUFC had won more major trophies than LFC.

    Tbh, throughout history in terms of winning things, Arsenal have been the most consistent in terms of doing it over a long long period of time.
