It is a real moral dilemma. 20 years ago, punching Mike Riley and putting him out of action for a few weeks would have brought the game into disrepute but would have simultaneously raised the standards of officiating.
What is the responsible course of action? :-)

Indeed. But ruling a ball in when 90% of it is over the line, allowing games to drift on for 100 mins plus and the inconsistencies of Var just provoke the worst behaviour in those with short fuses.
You want to protect referees (except Riley obvs) then stop throwing them to the wolves..
