God I hate united. I especially hate that rat face Bruno though.

I bet over the years ,oppo fans thought that about Vardy…

This bollocks of players guarding the penalty spot is utterly embarrassing and has to stop. With VAR, anyone scuffing the spot should get whacked with an extended ban. Six games should probably wipe it out overnight. 
Also, Di Canio got 11 game ban (??) for pushing the ref. Mitro should get similar. Absolutely out of control. 

[Super_horns]

Missed all that .

Sounds like Fulham imploded.

I'm not fussed about the Fulham v Fulham match.

  Oops.     Wouldn't mind seeing it, though: might finish 5-on-5

Exactly that

Goes back to my exact post this morning in the prem thread, the behaviour of players and managers towards officials is shocking. I hope strong action is taken.

I'm fine with all that, but ratty pushed a refs assistant and nothing happened.

For me they tell Mitrovic his season is done and Silva gets a further 3 games on top of his suspension for failing to control his players. Time to toughen up.

[Corky]

I wonder if they believed Willian when he said it hit his chest. No other explanation for the meltdown.

[Wymsey]

Genuinely thought Mitrovic was going to push him over, like Di Canio did, or headbutt..

Well well well the 2 Manchester clubs kept apart in the semis, fancy that!

Football needs to take a leaf out of Rugby and the respect the players have to the refs

They were unhappy that they didn’t get any var penalty reviews in the first half when they had two shouts - a handball on the line is a bit different though 

marco silva is a whiny miserable sod

There was a survey/article a few years ago which showed that rugby players are a lot more educated than football players despite the overall "roughness" of the sport. The behaviour of nowadays football players on the pitch and towards the refs is disgusting. Self entitled clowns all of them. I hope some day all football fans will come together and leave them for 2 months to play in empty stadiums.

Might also be about the $$$$$.

Additionally when you see the parents this kids play grass roots footy you can see where this lack of respect stems from.

The Fulham fans must be sick at how Silva and Mitrovic lost it. A club that has never won a major honour with a real chance of getting to their first FA Cup final since 1975 see it blow up in their faces.

2 minutes of historic ( Fulham’s) madness,on a descision that was 100% correct.

I mean ,I would prefer to see an amber card ,for such reds…( +sin bin) 

You get the penalty…

 

But any contact ref..is always a no,no.The players know that,but the hidden arrogance of right ( in wrong) from a player,no matter how soft the contact,the will is there…

 

Shame for Fulham,club,fans,owners and little Johnny..Th manager & player,must seperate be made to make an exceptional singular syatement to fans and club..

& Stand & take any fine..Remove club from any fines responsibility…

(Un)fortunately Manager has to ,should take the major hit..

You don’t have to be privately educated to know to treat people with respect. It’s a culture thing for sure. People say and do things on a football field which they would never do in real life.

Rugby players respect the ref because they have to.  They get sent off if they don't.  If that survey is seriously suggesting that Wigan v St Helen's is full of university and public schoolboys, I politely respect to differ.

 

If the FA backed the referees in the same way as rugby (league and union) governing bodies backed the referee, then players would respect the ref more.  Let it be known that swearing at the ref gets you sent off, and (after a few weeks) even footballers would learn.

I imagine Union was the subject of the survey (without having looked or know which survey we’re on about so will stand down it’s both codes). Rugby League is a very different sport in terms of where it sits in the class system, as you’ll know better than most being from Lancashire. It’s a working class game up here imo. By the way I’m not saying Rugby Union is exclusively for the upper classes either.

Refs have that power. They refuse to use it

That's the point.  Both codes of rugby respect the referee, and if a survey wants to attribute good behaviour in rugby union to "better education", they need to have an answer to why rugby league players are equally respectful.
