No FA charge for Leicester City's Nigel Pearson

[redcardwally]

Has a Ref I dont want any player to give respect,that is very much an FA initiative,does anyone honestly think that Refs think it's a great idea to have to shake all the players hands and say have a good game,nice haircut etc

yes stockyfox Refs are below you especially when they get £600 plus for a championship/football league game and get to take part/ruin football at a level you will get nowhere near

Respect has nothing to do with money, status, age, colour, creed or religion. It comes through observation of what someone says and does. You don't necessarily have to like or even agree with someone in order to respect them. I might vehemently disagree with someone and their principles but in a democratic society, I will always respect their right to express that opinion.

In my previous post, I should have probably made it more clear that 'they' were the 'men in suits' who are entrusted with overseeing the 'beautiful game' . They are the ones I look down on. When they are prepared to listen with an open mind and show more respect for managers and players who often have what I perceive to be genuine grievances, when they stop bringing automatic charges of disrepute against those who make some critical remark, when they allow the media to interview officials after a game, when they acknowledge the grievances of fans without whom there would be no football matches, when they seen to be striving to improve the game, when they become more accountable, then they will earn my respect.
