I've always wondered that when players crowd the ref, too. Why not just start handing out yellows until they stop? Seems like it would fix the problem.
Everyone would agree that the ref did the right thing by issuing the yellows, and then next week they'll be refereeing in the Conference and everything will return to normal.

A ton of referees are extreme beta males and allow themselves to get mistreated by not being assertive enough, in my opinion.

I'm sure I've read that part of a ref's job is to 'absorb' some of the players anger so that they're less likely to take out on another player on the pitch. Lots of times a player is upset at his and his teams failings but has to express it outwardly and the ref is willing to take it on the chin (within reason) in order for more controlled football to be seen by us spectators which makes them heroes imo.

I must admit, I've always wanted to see a ref flash yellows at every player who crowds him after a penalty decision.

But it'd set a precedent that would hinder the game rather than help it.

I like Howard Webb for this reason, he's more assertive and looks like he's not afraid to tell people to gently caress off. Whereas Mike Riley used to look like he was on the verge of a breakdown every time players got in his face.

Yep I think Webb is a pretty good ref and gets far too much poo poo for the World Cup final. My cop friend lurves him because he's a rozzer too tho and that makes me barf a bit.

It's part of the referees job to ensure the biggest, most marketable stars of the Barclays Premier League stay on the pitch for the full length of the programme game.

Mic the refs like in other sports. Standardise yellows for crowding.

Pathetic, effete confrontations where (often two teams of) whining primadonnas swarm the officials add nothing to the game. They do, however, present Sky et al an opportunity to generate "controversy" that they can endlessly rehash and furthermorzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I remember when McFadden got sent off in the 11th minute of a carling cup game against Arsenal for saying "that's loving poo poo" about a decision and got a straight red, and no-one was sent off ever again. We lost that game.

You are right, neither code of rugby saw a marked improvement in the conduct of players after putting in zero tolerance of ref crowding and abuse.

Unless I'm thinking of a different incident I'm pretty sure we all agreed that Mascherano was a giant idiot for running 50 yards to yell at the ref and then follow him around after being booked for it?
