10 matches for me. Stamp it out and send a message. Yellow for all players confronting the ref as only the captain is allowed to do so
Kids will copy, and that's a fact. During my coaching career in the 80's and 90's, an incident happended in front of all the parents of an under 12's session. Two boys went in for a fair tackle. They both fell to the ground, and they both got up unhurt. Niether won the ball. However, the bigger lad shouted, "Do that again and I'll do a flying Cantona kick to you head" He was banned from future coaching sessions...
It’s ridiculous that this hasn’t been brought in yet. Or a yellow for the captain if any of his players do this. He’s meant to be in charge on the pitch. Would soon stamp it out.
100%. There are so many “easy, quick fixes” like this that they simply won’t implement. Independent timekeeper is another one. Would do away with time wasting overnight. It’s not difficult, it’s just that the players and clubs, who actually “run” the game, don’t want it
Yep. Especially the top six. All changes made benefit them, and very little happens if they don't want it to. It's why they were so taken aback by the push back to their super league crap, which will be along again soon.
Message to the FA....The clocks ticking if your going to ban him you'd better get your fingers out cos this wait is bordering on ridiculous.
What Mitro did was wrong and the ban I believe is about correct but I can't understand how the fake Bruno can escape any form punishment for his altercation with the assistant ref by the looks of it, we are still working on two sets of 'laws of the game'
You can kick elbow nut an opponent and get away scot free. but nudge the ref and you're out for 8 games. It's time there was consistency in football. Cos right now it's a farce.
Players are allowed contact with other players, not with referees ... ... if they're too stupid to understand that they should be banned for life.
Well they eventually got round to making a decision. Perhaps it was throwing darts at a board that landed on 8 that did it...seriously think 8s about right, but did it have to take so long?
To be fair, which is rare for me, a one match ban doesn't take long to consider. An eight match ban is a huge part of the season and one that could cost Fulham dearly. So, yes, it would take time imo.
