I’d hate to see the day when we get a penalty against us that’s never a penalty and the players all have to stand there and say yes sir, no problem sir.
Shouting in someone's face can't be described as anything other than bullying and I've listed examples of when it has been used as a deliberate tactic.Quote:

You’re using societal norms and applying them to sport. Expecting sport, with all the passion that goes along with it, to have the same behavioural standards as day to day life is stupid and every sport would fall short if that’s the standards we’re applying, rugby included.Quote:

No one is saying that and it's daft to suggest they are - it's the screaming abuse that's the problem.Quote:

Dont think ive ever seen players...in numbers....scream in a team mates face for making a mistake that may or may not have cost them a result. So why refs?. Sure he screwed up but the reaction is totally OTT. The picture of Haaland...he looks deranged. No one should have to put up with that in their workplace...no one.Quote:

Incidentally If Haaland hadn’t ’ t missed an open goal there would have been no need for the histrionics and there was no guarantee that Grealish would have scored anyway-hisform has been poor.

You’ve never seen players in any other sport shout at a referee? If that’s the case I can only assume you never watch any other sport.Quote:

It’s become the done thing to pretend football is the only support with these sort of things happening. In reality though, it’s nonsense, much like the idea that rugby players don’t cheat is also nonsense.
You can want certain rules put in place all you want. Pretending they should be put in place because it’s only football that has situations like this arise though is utter rubbish.
Aberdeen did the same under FergieQuote:

The reactions not over the top at all, it was an absolute horror decision that you could be forgiven for questioning whether the ref was cheating. That decision could be the difference between Man City winning the league or not, it could cost the club tens of millions of pounds.Quote:
