I have always been amazed at the level of abuse professional footballers are allowed to get away with.

I played a couple of decades of park football and abusing the ref or linesmen was just not acceptable. Immediate sending off if the player continued beyond the first outburst. Habitual offenders would find themselves banded. You might say so what but for someone who wants to play then a ban is hard to circumvent unless you are willing to travel a fair distance to play outside of your area.

I don't know what the answers are but my reasoning simply leads me to believe it is the responsibility of professional players and managers to adopt an appropriate level of respect. A stricter penalty regime won't work let alone be allowed.

I know rugby has its flash points but abusing the officials is rare and is all the better for it.

Hell a yank having a pop at football, whatever next. At least you got up off your fat arse to watch it. Credit where credit is due.

Diving is worse than abuse.

Its quite simple, bring in sin bins and smack em where it really hurts...the poclet!

Also bring in massive fines for those goons who call themselves managers who seem to hate everything refs stand for. If these guys think its such a easy thing to do why dont they go out and ref a couple top class games...I suspect their appreciation of match officials will go up after being subjected to the same abuse they are so keen to put out there!

I know rugby has its flash points but abusing the officials is rare and is all the better for it.

The difference with Rugby (apart from a higher class of person who plays) is that discipline and respect for officials are not only taught from the first day you play but is also enforced by the ruling body that oversees the game.

Sure you get the occassional hot head BUT what you dont see is players manhandling and screaming in refs faces like the morons who play poof ball!
