My biggest pet peeve as a referee is that at a certain level, referees just stop giving cards for dissent and foul and abusive language. The amount of abuse i see every week towards referees is staggering. After every call, especially in England, the player has pretty much a constant stream of 'gently caress off' and whatever else they can think of while the ref just takes it. It's gotten to the point that players think that it's ok. Back when i would do about 4 games a week, I'd end up averaging at least a red per week because of giving guys 2 yellows in the span of a minute, first for whatever foul they committed, and then immediately the second because of the hate spewing out if their mouth.

As much as I'd love to see refs follow the letter of the law and give out a second yellow for dissent, it won't happen in the major European leagues. Take England for example, the ref most likely to do this would be Mike Dean. The problem is that he gets his straight red calls wrong so often that he's accused of trying to steal the spotlight. The same thing would happen with sending players off for dissent: the media circus would be in full swing and no progress would get made. Hell, the FA briefed clubs and their players at the start of the season that dissent would be handled more harshly than in the past so they need to be more careful and it's still the same song and dance now because the refs are so inconsistent.

Now I'm imaging the next classico being 5 v 6 for like 30 minutes because players can't stop crowding the ref

It'd actually be a race for the first team to get under the required 7 players and lose the game.

Start each game 1v1. Players have to do a good deed to be allowed to play.

Lol, FIFA will never change and they don't give a gently caress. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/may/10/ousted-fifa-ethics-heads-investigating-hundreds-corruption-cases quote:Football’s world governing body, Fifa, has “neutralised” and “incapacitated” its corruption investigations after removing the chairmen and all but two members of its ethics committee, the two ousted chairmen said the day before the organisation’s congress in Bahrain.

Speaking of peace, wondering how FIFA is handling Syria?quote:Allegations that Syria is in violation of FIFA's rules prohibiting political interference in matters related to soccer were delivered to FIFA's doorstep in 2015. FIFA has cited those rules 20 times over the past decade to suspend countries from international play. But in the case of the Syria allegations, which were contained in a 20-page document titled "War Crimes against Syrian Football Players," FIFA responded that the "tragic circumstances ... go far beyond the domain of sporting matters" and concluded that the issue was beyond its control. FIFA officials declined to be interviewed by ESPN but issued a statement saying the organization is limited in its jurisdiction and its "capacity to verify any allegations in such a complex setting." http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/19343630/how-syrian-government-brought-soccer-campaign-oppression You had to ask?
