didn’t they try that once? Only captains can talk to the ref & move 10m forward for an offence. Refs didn’t enforce it. Not sure if the laws are still active
It should have been a yellow card for the player imeadiatly, and if he still carried on another one and sent him off
Like happened to the Man U player on Sunday, seemingly for less dissent....funny though as it happened to the team that have probably benefitted more from crap refereeing decisions than any other.
https://www.efl.com/news/2023/decem...-referee-decisions-at-85--so-far-this-season/ Interesting stuff from the EFL, as they have openly admitted that they only get 85% of key match decisions correct. That's ****e. That might appear to be a high number, but it really isn't. So far, halfway through the season, they have got 99 key decisions wrong. That's about 5 every matchweek. These aren't little decisions either, this is for penalties, goals, offsides, red cards. And people wonder why Rosey and other managers have been so pissed off with performances of officials, only to see retrospective action only given to players and managers.
Still absolutely no justification for speaking to and treating officials like ****. I bet the vast majority of players don't have an key chance/choice/tackle/pass success rate above 85%
Rosey has only managed to take points from 72% of his opportunities to this season, which may seem high but it really isn’t. That’s ****e.
I remember once when I questioned a ref on one of his decisions. He responded by saying "If I ever made as many mistakes as you do in a game lad, I'd never be asked to put a pair of boots on again !"
