Would hate for him to punch Mike Riley. Oh, wait - sorry I, he isn't there any more. I meant Howard Webb
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.Originally Posted by Luis Anaconda
What is the responsible course of action?

Fair point. I would like to remove the reference from my post and replace it with Phil Dowd.FFS Lads! That's twice you've mentioned that name in this thread and unless I'm mistaken IUFG has not left the planet.

A ****housery attack .. No excuses and all that.. But perhaps a warning that FIFA and those who keep changing the rules every five minutes to perhaps stop farking around.
Well, there is the broader point. How can anyone, within or without the game, have an ounce of respect for the governing bodies. UEFA and FIFA have proved themselves to be corrupt to the core.
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..
Completely agree. Tampering with handball until it is literally one rule for one.
And they rule a ball in when 99.9% of it is over the line. 90% wouldn't even get a review
