exactly the same as the existing rules by the looks of it

 

 

but seeing as they're making a bit of a hoo-ha about it, it'll be interesting to see how long this 'current climate' lasts.

be great if it's a manc to be the first sent off for Mourinho's reaction alone.

[JonnyBrad]

This won't last. It never does.

 

My solution:

 

Mic the refs up as in Rugby. They'll be a load of red cards first game of the season and after that all the little s***s will shut up.

Rooney should be off every game.

Will never last.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

There has not been a red card for foul and abusive language in a Premier League game since Javier Mascherano was dismissed during Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat against Manchester United on 23 March 2008

 

 

Oh isn't that a surprise

[kop205]

Wasn't Mascherano two yellows?

[Andy-oh-six]

Wasn't Mascherano two yellows?

Yes. Something had happened the week before to establish the 'current climate'. Masch was the only one to get the brunt of the current climate though.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Wasn't Mascherano two yellows?

yeah

[Hassony]

Yes. Something had happened the week before to establish the 'current climate'. Masch was the only one to get the brunt of the current climate though.

Wasn't it the United players surrounding the referee?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

something like that yeah - just to add to the insult & irony

[kop205]

yeah

 

So there hasn't been a red card for foul and abusive language for even longer then.

[Atticus Finch]

Yes. Something had happened the week before to establish the 'current climate'. Masch was the only one to get the brunt of the current climate though.

Ashley Cole having a petulant strop wasn't it?

[stressederic]

Ashley Cole having a petulant strop wasn't it?

Yep. In a game between Chelsea and Spurs.

[Cobs]

Masch was given a second yellow card for dissent - not sent off for foul and abuse language, iirc 

[Duncan Disorderly]

I was always under the impression that the refs would give a by-ball if a players swears as a response to a decision, but it would be a disciplinary matter if the swearing is directed at the ref?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Masch was given a second yellow card for dissent - not sent off for foul and abuse language, iirc 

 

Yeah - foul & abusive language is a straight red per the laws.

 

Unless they changed the laws, but it always was. But never enforced

One of the most infuriating and obvious sendings off in the history of the game.

He was an absolute berk, no question

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

yeah, you could see it coming a mile off, Gerrard needed to wade in and drag him away

[Guy_Incognito]

Nah, not having that. Torres was fouled, told the ref he'd been getting kicked all game and got a booking. Masch went over saying "what's going on?" and got a second yellow for it.

 

We got 2 yellows for an incident in which our player was fouled!

 

Even if he'd been mouthing off all game, nothing he did in that incident warranted a booking

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

 

s***housery of a ref obviously, but if you run 10-20 yards to a ref you're asking for bother

[Ombudsam]

It had been coming. You could tell. I was furious that Masch kept talking to the ref

Just watched the video. Xavi knows

[Dan]

It was obvious he was going to send him off regardless of the seriousness of the offences. That's what made it so infuriating.

Arrrggggghhhhh Xabi
