This video is absolutely hilarious and it's gonna get viral. IMO, any sort of verbal abuse towards a ref is a red card offense, but the goalkeeper with the green shirt spoke towards the dugout while the ref was communicating with #9 and didn't look at the keeper. Therefore, when the keeper went closer to the ref, there was a clear misunderstanding because the ref fought the comments were directed towards him. For the sub keeper, I think the ref had enough from the rude comments from the dugout and took no excuses after telling the keeper to sit down. Overall, I think the ref was partly at fault, because he was too strict towards the dugout and didn't explain about the first two cards. The red team's behaviour was truly shocking as multiple players and staff were swearing at the ref for giving a freekick (it was a clear push on the back). If they had respected the ref and didn't verbally abuse him, this mess wouldn't have happened in the first place.

As a former referee, it's tough for me to 100% agree with you. Honestly, it looks like he went too far just based on what we are able to hear and see. (Don't know what led up to all this.) The one I most question is when he brings a coach to the touchline and that coach is calmly talking to him. I find it difficult to believe there was something red card worthy there. It would have had to have been the calmest racist remark ever on a pitch. The 2nd coach ejected it appears was ordered by the referee to sit down even though the he was just was standing next to the bench. He appears to be ejected for refusing to sit. He should have, after the 2nd card, pulled the captains together and spoken to them. Explain that there will be no more. Instead he chased upset players instead which just made it worse.

We don’t get to see any of the game leading up to this. I’m sure that first red card did not come out of nowhere. Nor did the second or the third.

[@frednerk3477]

There must be a minimum of 7 players on the field for a team to be able to constitute a game so I would say that 4 players can be sent off and, as they cannot be replaced, if a fifth player on the field is sent off, the game must stop. However that is just the players on the field. If the abuse continues from players still on the field or is also coming from the officials and the players on the bench it would be possible to give out seven or more red cards.

[@tomdrewenskus8167]

@@frednerk3477 You are correct that if 5 players on the field from one team are shown a red card, then the team must forfeit the match 1-0. But theoretically, the ref could give red cards to all 18 players as well as coaches before leaving the field. Then the league could reprimand all of them for the remainder of the season. Coaches lose their jobs for such fiascos, and they could lose their coaching license as well. Note that the coaches did little to nothing to control the red team players.

Well done ref, why should refs put up with shit off the goons!

@@TheAPSToyCo That's not abuse. Soccer players say that to each other every day. Get some thicker skin. You're a ref. You're supposed to be tougher and commanding the respect from players. If you can't assert your authority, don't be a ref.

[@TheAPSToyCo]

It has nothing to do with authority even if I didn’t have authority that doesn’t give an excuse for refs to get physical and verbally abused. Imagine any other job with that you’re a shop keeper and you just get hurled insults your entire shift. I have thick skin that’s why I still ref after all the threats and abuse. If the stuff said to a ref was said anywhere else in the world in the street at work anywhere you wouldn’t get away with it so why is it acceptable to do it to a ref?

[@davidhanson1849]

Respect has to be earned how can you accept the red card to the coach for doing exactly what the ref asked

[@IAMPLEDGE]

@@davidhanson1849that coach had already called the ref a pussy. That's a red card offence on its own. The ref asked the coaching staff to remove the red carded players from the technical area/dug out, and even allowed them time to do it. Even then they carried on arguing. I can't disagree with any of the cards here and I can't disagree with his decision to abandon the game. No ref = no game. Time those in the game learned some respect. Whether you like it or not the referee is in a position to demand respect on match day.

@@IAMPLEDGE no referee has the right to demand respect by making the correct decisions and man management of the players is the only way to get respect. I was a referee but I couldn't keep up with the players so I gave it up

Beautiful, that's how dissent should be treated in football. Let's be honest, footballers are disgusting, they swear, threaten, and abuse each other and the ref. They will cheat left right and centre where they can too. They rarely show any respect. Every match should be zero tolerance for dissent.
