Or where the contact is initiated by the player who then goes flying through the air in order to try and con the officials - There was an excellent example of this in one of yesterdays matches!
The officials need to be treated like they are in rugby. They volunteer to do a ****, hard job.
That's especially true of those at lower levels and they'll benefit from it most of all.
Someone like "England's Hero" Wayne Rooney openly abusing them every week sets a bad example.
Kids see this and think that it's what they should be doing too, if they want to be a successful player.
Then some poor bastard who gives up his time for nothing to help the local schoolkids gets called a **** by the little ****s.
The parents also lob their own ton of crap too, just like the managers do in the Premier League.
All of this crap is bad for the sport and needs to stop.
The 4th official isn't there for the managers to vent their frustrations on.
The referee has enough to do without babysitting millionaires with anger issues.

Does anyone think this is a foul and a penalty? There's contact, as a result of hanging his left leg out and ensuring it touches the defender.

Sorry but if Halsey thinks it was wrong then the one certainty is that it was the correct decision- The most useless official ever makes Graham Poll look like Colina
My old man regularly got sent off in 70s sunday league for swearing at the ref after questioning
their decision making.
As I've repeatedly said, just need a ref to start giving yellows to the first player in a game
who gives them the verbals. Marching dissenting teams 10 yds further upfield for dissenting /
delaying after a foul would be a good rule to take from rugby.
It would also be good if the ref audio could be fed into TV coverage when they talk to players
during stoppages as in rugby (so you can hear the rationale) .
Rather ironically, given his earlier mention in this thread, Mark Halsey.
The ****er somehow gave that as a penalty.
We fell foul of Young doing that once in the cup as well, Halsey and Young neither welcome are welcome at Priestfield
Arsenal killed off the idea of miking up refs, proving that they're everything that's wrong in the game.My old man regularly got sent off in 70s sunday league for swearing at the ref after questioning

Tony Adams called the ref a cheat and then denied it to his manager, not knowing that it was recorded.
Twat.
Lee Todd famously became the quickest red card in history, after swearing early on in a game.
The ref blew to start the game, the player said "****, that was loud" and he got a straight red!
You can see footage of the 90s documentary on youtube where Elleray was mic'ed
during a league game and the abuse the Goon players were giving him.
Can you find the bit that says that in the rules for me? Genuine question because I don't think i've seen it before but i'm willing to be proven wrong.
Where in the rule book does it state that it's a bookable offence to instigate contact with the defender?
Pretty simple question.
The offence was a trip. I think Vardy tripped the West Ham player. Deliberately tripping a player when not going for the ball is a yellow by itself. I don't think that Vardy having possession of the ball is relevant - he can't shield the ball by tripping an opponent who is running next to him
