Coming from a rugby background, one of the main things that stops me watching football is the amount of dissent shown towards refs. Admittedly some of these refs are a tad “over zealous” shall we say but good on them for not taking abuse. Would never fly on the rugby pitch that’s for sure. Great upload again guys 👍🏼

[@WrinklyTraveller]

Rugby is the shining light. I don't think I've ever seen a rugby player go off at a rugby ref. The problem with football is that there's too many princesses out there that think they're untouchable.

MORE PLEASE!!!!!

[@frpgplayer]

Good training helped me deal with players, coaches, parents, etc. No need to yell. No need to be disrespectful. Just a few lessons learned over the years: 1. Sideline issues: typically a coach or spectator. Whistle, stop game. Walk,don't run. Count while you're walking. Calm yourself first. Everyone knows that stroll is going to handle dissent or a question. By the time you get there, the person knows they are now the center of your attention. Always worked for me. On the field, players shown respect often return it. The few,or those that lack self control,just require a short phrase. Cards are just reinforcement. But, pro refs drive me crazy. I was taught keep it short. It's not time for a discussion. This is what I saw. This is what I called. That's it. Good? No? Well, you've been heard. Back to the game.

I refed for almost 40 years, and there was one reason I would not ref men's games. There are so many 'cry babies' I got tired of dealing with it. So, I stuck to youth, and it was a little better. But then you have to deal with the parents.

[@heribertfassbender5759]

That is why every professional player has to think about his/her behaviour on the pitch very very hard. They are the rolemodels for the people in the video and if ref abuse on higher stages seems acceptable, then low tier and weekend players will act on it. It's a game, not your release-valve for accumulated frustration.

"What did he get thrown out for?" Me: "For being a fucking asshole." Actually did this.

[@MrCho14]

4:28 The player actually puts the ball exactly where foul occurred. The referee turned his back to the play and then gets mad when he sees the player had placed the ball not where he wanted it while going into an unneeded lecture. Simply overcontrolling to the point that he'll lose control of the match if he's like that all the time. No badge says a lot.

[@MrCho14]

5:00 The keeper is lucky not to get a straight red. The referee was being kind. I hate idiot keepers who think they are Princes out there with special rules. I bet that guy also brings his knee up, initiates contact with an attacker and then claims he's allowed to 'protect himself'.

[@michaelfalkner1186]

1) Red coach should've gone for the abuse. Red 19 may well have committed two cautionable offenses and is very fortunate to still be in the game at all. 2) 16 Polish Eagles should've been gone. That's ref abuse with the language. If you say "one more", then that's gotta come with at least a yellow. 3) Dammit, this is why your leagues are out of control. If you're going to call that embellishment, 9 RED MUST BE SENT OFF FOR THE DISSENT. ENFORCE THE LAWS. 4) No, they're wrong. Blue 2 must be (and was correctly) cautioned. The referee gives consent to reenter. And you have a very real chance of sending off the Blue coach, and, at that point, 17 Blue has to go in the book as well. 5) Tamer than some of the others, but especially with a chance to score off the kick, the referee insists, correctly, on the right spot. 6) He's actually very lucky that's yellow, and lucky twice he's not sent off with the lip. He can wait for the guy to get down the pitch within the 8 seconds. The penalty is correct. "You need the red card?" Yes, he should've gotten it for Serious Foul Play (Violent Conduct is only if the ball is dead.) on the original foul. 7) YES, YES, A HUNDRED TIMES YES. This is the only thing that's going to put an end to, at all levels, the dissent mobs around the referee. Card them all. They're ALL committing Dissent through action. Five players get yellow, one of them continues and sees red. Three tweets might well not have been out of line here. 8) And it sounds like Black 11's team is already down one player, and if he doesn't shut his yap, it's a second. 9) So the Black team coach is gone and the dissenting player is out for two minutes, and he's still going -- and the Black team is committing repeated infringements to prevent the free kick (that should've been a penalty)... 10) Then put 6 Black in the book, referee. 11 and 12) Another coach who should've been sent from the park. 13) Ref should never have gotten in his face. Send him from the touchline immediately, be done with it. 14) 2 Orange in the book, ref. 15) NO, YOU CAN'T! GET OUT #4... And it sounds like he isn't the only one about to go. 16) No final warnings. 99 Gray, 10 White, off for Serious Foul Play. You've got another sending off for abuse on Gray as well.

[@WrinklyTraveller]

Being a ref, I've encountered many of these situations. Some of them, I would not have used such a harsh response as it looks a bit like a loss of control on some occasions, e.g., the young lady with the dark hair. Still, some really good refs setting the standard. We don't get paid enough.

[@neilwhitaker6284]

thumbs up but I was OK with that young lady. Perhaps you are right but I think she felt she needed to get control quickly. It can be hard I think being a lady surrounded by 22 men who are stronger and bigger. I think as a former player I'd be chuckling a little but I'd also fall into line and respect the referee's authority if she did that in one of my matches.

And here I was thinking the only reason why blokes played “ football “ was because they couldn’t stand contact sport like rugby league or rugby union I’ve discovered the real reason is the simplest truth is rugby league or rugby union requires disciplined and training and then some more training unlike football it’s one day a week and any mug that’s sober or standing up reasonably steady on his feet had 2 hours of practice the entire week and doesn’t know the difference between rules and penalties is a angry lad is perfectly reasonable for playing football tell me I’m wrong 😢😢

[@ScarScream]

I mean... First action is all wrong by the sideline ref, it's obviously a foul in favor of the forward but yet he calls it in favor of the defender LMAO. Defender is clearly grabbing/hooking the forward with his arm and restraining him from going directly to the goal. That could/should be a red card for negating a goal opportunity and yet he gets it wrong and then the official gives the forward a yellow and actually says "Do you want 2?" Horrible officiating.

[@av3iro]

this is how the refs SHOULD be in all non professional football matches where the players act like babies playing dirty by calling the refs names when they get booked for their fouls.

At least two intentional handballs that should've given yellow and they didn't. Five yellow cards for the same team? Awful and abusive. Refs are supposed to guarantee the safety of the players and not to show their power over the players. Respect the game.

[@MrCho14]

That ref didn't even record the yellows to those players he asked to step up. He's likely the type of ref who would go put his yellow in his bag and then announce to everyone he only has a red left.
