Let's just play 11 robots I don't like them going too ott but it was hardly on the level of Man Utd or Chelsea in full cry. Had it been the media would have been full of it
Wouldn't it be nice if all football players showed the level of respect to the officials as standard in rugby. Surely it could be achieved if FIFA had the backbone to address the problem.
Funny how the FA have only acted on a referee being crowded so far into the season. I would have thought they would have chosen a bigger team and earlier to make their point. The again you can't have Louis, Arsène or José squealing about victimisation, and with the media darlings involved as well we have a perfect situation to flex the FA's muscle. A pity they don't act on referees giving stupid penaltie or making decisions that make them star of the show or the ridiculous business of imitation card brandishing players. How many of our players were involved anyway? I only saw Troy, Etienne and Heurelho, but three is a crowd.
FIFA et al don't have the respect to address the problem. Bunch of self serving sycophants, the lot of them.
I'd only seen the headlines Zen, as Fez sez it's a totally different situation. I see ih the Watford report they have spelled out what constitutes the offence! "If the referee is surrounded by two or more players!" Show me a match where the ref is NOT questioned by two or more players every week!
I think he's having a cracking match thus far: beaten by a wicked deflection and an unlucky rebound off the post.
