Today’s Football 2022/23 Season

[Nasseline]

You just can't do what Mitrovic did there. At one point I was afraid he was going to hit the referee. Why didn't his teammates or some of the Fulham staff try to intervene?

man utd play fulham again last day of the season

should be interesting

Marco calling out VAR right there.

 

[Harryflashman]

Any person who’s kicked a ball , and I’d imagine a fair proportion of those who haven’t , knows if you put your hands on the ref you’re gone .

They should be stronger on dissent and being surrounded but even on Sunday pitches you’re straight off putting your hands on him .

On a general point He’s not wrong is he ? it seems it was introduced in case , god forbid , the ref misses something for the big 6.

I would bet a lot of money that if Van Dijk does that at Analfield its not a straight red - be put down to "pashun".

Problem is the inconsistency.

No he isnt. I watched the game, and I was surprised the incident wasnt even looked at, according to the comms anyrate. Corruption? Dunno. Perception? Deffo.

Well as much as I do not think Kavanagh is a good referee, you absolutely cannot do with Mitrovic did. There needs to be 100% consistency on that issue - any contact with an official on purpose has to be a sending off.

Course not. Bad example for kids but Kavanagh mug remains very slapable

Four years on from its inception It's certainly looking that way.
Deus ex machina premier league-a.
Protect the cash cows.

He got in his face and gave him a shove , I’m not saying the media might not react differently in the circumstances you’re describing but that’s a red card .

I can’t even believe I’m arguing about it , then I realise who I’m talking to and it becomes clear . As you were .

It happened with us and that second pen at forest , they spent about 5 mins looks for a reason to deny the first one mind .

Im not arguing its not a red card in the current game of pansies.

Im arguing the refs make it up as they go along. Van Dijk doesn't get a red for the same. Fernandes shoves the linesman and doesn't get anything done to him.

It stinks man.

 

[daza_1973]

I remember the good old days when refs knew their place in the grand scheme of things.

 

[barneygumble]

I have no problem with the ref punishing people for being tits. But it can't just be a random red when we see that behavior every week.

Disagree.

Referees should be treated as the authority, simple as fhat.

In Rugby League, they refer to the referee as “Sir”, and that’s that.

Mitrovic pushed the referee, he should get a lengthy ban.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

I remember the good old days when refs knew their place in the grand scheme of things.

Mitrovic didnt even give that ref a push man was more barged him with the arm.

Still a red but depends what team you play for.

The FA want a Manchester Derby final no doubt about that.
