Very funny the way the bloke from Eastenders said "don't make me hurt you Leslie"lol then the real bald ref said he won't ref the game and u man says "you'll be useless anyhow" brillant

when are the FA going to shut up that non-stop moaner that is Sir Alex Ferguson? his latest childish rant over his team's fixture list makes me laugh, other teams would just get on with it if it happened to them. No wonder Man Utd are so disliked, he should try working 9-10 hours a day on meagers wage. I wonder if he is secretly hoping that Southampton and Derby knock his team out of FA and Carling Cup, then again he will probably moan about them defeats like the bad loser he is. LMAO

@Oufcfanatic yea, a year on now, I have realised, even the younger years dont go with the respect campaign.

[Oufcfanatic]

@Gtrevolutionmad Afraid the feeling won't last. As an 18 year old now level 4 I can tell you as soon as you start reffing mens football the respect campaign goes out the window.

This video is very weak and lacks substance.

It takes a very serious matter and makes a complete mockery out of it. Referee abuse is a serious problem and I for one would like to see more direct solutions to this problem. The FA needs to start thinking about the future of the game. Using technology to help referees make the right calls would drastically reduce disrespect towards refs

For example, Iain Hume was nearly killed by a deliberate elbow by Chris Morgan. The referee saw it, made the wrong call and only gave a yellow card (Morgan would have been in jail had it been on the street). The FA said they couldn't upgrade it to a red card as the referee saw it and gave a yellow. The same goes for diving. If a ref misses a dive, the FA should punish the player after the game.
