Crazy that it hasn’t happened in so long, especially with what you can lipread and know is being said. If referees were much stricter on dissent at the top level it would have a huge benefit at all levels of the game. It would be tough for a few weeks with probably a lot of red cards, but teams and players would soon adapt.
Didn’t Webb literally just say this should happen more? Not reds, but punishments for going after the referee? Maybe this referee listened.
I think we need transcripts of what a player says to officials to warrant a red or yellow card. It’ll be the only way players alter how they speak to refs as they will be concerned about their image and brand.
have you seen f1? expletives definitely does not alter image and brand. in fact, the people love it, because you know, much more relatable!
It means he will now face a three-match ban rather than one and the Mail reports his language towards referee Anthony Taylor was ‘personally abusive’
Personally abusive? I’m guessing he was asking if a hair pull is a red card offence? Or if he’s certain that he should be awarding a penalty, considering the one he gave for Newcastle against Wolves was a complete error. Or if he’s come to terms with the fact he will never be given a European final again following last season’s Europa Conference final.
To be honest, Taylor is one of the worst refs in the league. He would probably take personal offence to Dunk asking him if he was sure, considering how arrogant and clueless he seems to be half the time. I look forward to him being fucked off to the championship for another week.
Wait it was a straight red? Was it given by VAR then? Taylor definitely held up a yellow first
But so braindead by Dunk wtf are you doing dude
Anthony Taylor deserves every bit of abuse he gets.
I don’t know man. I too think that Anthony Taylor is a fucking bellend
No one posted it here yesterday for some reason
Only “top 6” clubs get any attention here
Imagine that, the clubs with more supporters get more upvotes on posts pertaining to them. The injustice!
What a profound comment
Fuck me, why does 2011 sound less far back and less scarier than “12 years ago.”
Here’s another one for you. We are closer to 2050 than we are to 1990.
Brighton still leading the PGMOL table
Think Wolves are probably top at the moment but it’s close.
