I don't think that BBC report showed the full story, the FA have massive problems attracting people to officiate at matches due to personal abuse, at present they are running a national campaign to attract people back to grass roots football, it is possible that leagues going it alone may have an adverse effect on the FA's efforts.
There is definately no FA APPROVAL OF SWEARING.
I was at a game a week or so ago, probably Truro Third XI standard, the goalie of one team was over the top with his swearing, the referee made it quite clear next time would be red carded, he also warned both teams that he had the power to abandon the match, they finished the game.
For one man and his whistle to take on two teams and their supporters took some nerve. |
