I don’t know of any other sport where players can continually tell the officials to “******** off” without repercussions.
Which is a huge part or perhaps even the major part of the problem. Imagine if refs could make decisions without any players chawing in their ear?
There are sanctions in the Laws for foul and abusive language yet there’s as suggestion of introducing a sin bin for this type of offence. Just implement the laws as they stand.
I read about the Wegner’s suggestion to the international rules committee for a penalty box. I like it, but I don’t like it - exactly for the reason you mentioned. Just enforce the existing rules! I would like to see a temporary sub for blood-related injury - like today with Leno.
FA make Erling Haaland decision Liverpool know all about as Man City charged - Liverpool Echo With a face like that, canabalism is a distinct possibility!
Erik ten Hag is battling to retain the support of some of his Manchester United players after Saturday's 1-0 Premier League defeat at Newcastle. (ESPN) Manchester United players are said to be questioning Ten Hag's playing style and treatment of England winger Jadon Sancho, 23. (Sky Sports)
Haaland won't be charged individually after that? WTF? Virgil was punished for dissent that was not nearly as over the top.
stop saying those nasty (true) things about us!!!! Manchester United have banned four media outlets from today’s news conference after claiming they had not been given right of reply to negative stories about the club. Sky, ESPN, Manchester Evening News and the Mirror have all been excluded from manager Erik ten Hag’s briefing ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League game with Chelsea after reporting some players were unhappy with the Dutchman and his methods. “We are taking action against a number of news organisations today, not for publishing stories we don’t like, but for doing so without contacting us first to give us the opportunity to comment, challenge or contextualise,” read a club statement.
It’s because if the refs do card them, then we give the inevitable shit storm in the press as well as personal threats.
0-1 Arsenal. 1-1. 1-2 Arsenal 2-2. 3-2 Luton 3-3. 71’ minutes. Some game. Expect Le Arse to pull it out (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more), but maybe our 1-1 wasn’t an outlier?
Yeah we did. When the idiot, Luton player decided to give away the free kick. I was like this is not gonna be good
Turned on Peacock thinking it was over and I’d get the score. It was 3-3 and still going. Two seconds later in the 96th minute Rice heads in the winner. the little Frog and his team celebrated like they had just won the League. Beating Luton Town. Puts them 5 points over us.
