    Penalizing people for being frustrated by shitty refs is a recipe for disaster. The MLS refs are taking notes and saying “Hold my beer”

    I think they need to implement a card or flag system for the managers in the style that NFL coaches get here in the states. Each half they get to challenge one call they disagree with. But, if the ref’s call stands, there would be some punishment for the challenging team (maybe a yellow for the manager and the possibility of being sent off if they lose both challenges). If the ref reverses their call, advantage gets played to the team who challenged the call (offside call gets reversed, yellow/red card challenge gets overturned, penalty given, etc).

    I think penalizing players who “wave an imaginary card” is definitely something that needs consistent enforcement, as others have already mentioned. But, that goes along with all the officiating. Consistency is the request from fans.

    Also if they’re gonna punish players waving cards, they should also card players who even complain after a foul suggesting it should be a card. To me it’s the same thing.

    Here’s a better idea. No refs. Both captains have an argument between them about whether the ball was in or not, and whether it was or wasn’t a foul.

    Someone’s dad keeps time. Bonus points if they own the whistle and don’t need to borrow one.

    No handball unless a player physically catches the ball. Slapping the ball is fine as long as the offending player just says it was ball to hand.

    It’s only offside if the offending player was in the box and was too lazy to try and run back.

    If losing, the home team captain can take the ball and go home.

    Sorry is the head of premier league referees having to tell the rest of them to follow an actual rule?

    Does everyone realize how fucked that is?

    Why??.. I’ve never understood why people get upset about this, commentators always saying “we don’t want to see that”.

    I have no idea why this is any different from, say, someone putting their hand in the air to claim a throw in when the balls hit an opposition player on the way out.

    You’re just asking the ref to implement a fair consequence of an action.
