foreveryoung Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Crowding the ref has to stop. It don't happen in Rugby with those big burly dudes, so certainly shouldn't happen with the like of Fernandes. Ref can call over a captain if he needs, if not, it' a yellow straight away for running up in the refs face. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow card at most based on the last 30 years of refereeing in the PL I agree it should be dealt with more harshly, but based on what happens in the league pretty much every weekend, he got a suitable punishment.

Whilst I agree with you, the laws say it didn’t “directly” lead to a goal — the player who crossed it didn’t score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Feel sorry for the lino in the Liverpool game. He’s reacting to someone else encroaching aggressively on his personal space. Not a great reaction from him, but a very natural one. Robertson a clearing in the woods for acting like he’s been sucker punched. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red cards for anyone who isn't the captain and/or player involved in the immediate incident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 If someone got that close to you at a shopping centre you'd probably throw an elbow up in self defence as well. The complete lack of respect for referees in football has led to players thinking they can get away with stuff like that. It's good that Robertson got a yellow, I don't think it's worth any more on either side. PGMOL need to come out and firmly tell players to respect the personal space of referees or start getting carded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Wow, for once common sense prevails in the FA Quote No further action will be taken against assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis following an incident involving Liverpool's Andy Robertson, the Football Association has said. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65269502 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively a 1 match ban for a being a bit careless with his elbow when confronted by Robertson. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Hopefully other refs will follow suit and take the one match ban and clock players that are invading the personal space Hopefully its Bruno next 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players shouldn't get away with crowding and shouting at officials, but in what universe is throwing your elbow up to head height a reasonable reaction to someone getting close to you or being touched on the arm. He made no effort to apologise at the time either, which I think pretty much anyone would do if we accidentally hit someone in the face. He's got away with that, and he shouldn't have. Not even a slap on the wrist, presumably because they were worried he'd chin them for it. Edited April 14, 2023 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they can't sack him if the PL allow players to assault officials and carry on their careers. An 8 match ban would be fair (equal to Mitrovic), but then they're admitting he actually did assault him and due to difference in power between players and linos they'd be under pressure to sack him. The job becomes untenable. Much better for then to sweep it under the carpet. Robertson probably didn't get hurt and barely connected with so probably doesn't want it on his conscience that he was a complete prick to the official and then also ruined said officials life by getting him sacked for gross misconduct. They need to do more to protect the officials. Instant yellow card for confronting the ref or linos unless you're the captain. Captain to get a booking for any aggressive tone taken during confrontation. Red cards would stack up quickly when half a team gets booked for surrounding the ref.
