My view is that any player who is found guilty of abusing a ref should be made to train as a referee and and be made to ref a match before they are allowed to play again. That way they will see first hand how difficult it can be to make on the spot decisions. Refs at amateur level are doing it because they love football not for the £15 to 20 they get. It astonishes me that so called sports people whether they be supporters, players or managers cannot understand that.

nope, make them attend anger management at own expense and before being allowed to play again they must re-paint the clubhouse...with an airfix brush.

I used to ref when I was 16/17 to earn a bit of Money, I'm fairly certain, I used to Ref Beach Huts team and his lad. Used to try and two games back to back when I worked out that they were decent club with respectable parents.

I did have one Dad run on the pitch and grab me round the neck think it was Hollingbury Hawks, I quit at the end of that season.

If all referees were allowed to carry guns none of this would happen, but oh not the liberals get their way and we have anarchy on the pitch.

About 20 years back I somehow found myself on the committee of the Brighton, Hove and District Football League and got co-opted onto the disciplinary committee. It was a real eye-opener. We dealt with situations where players had assaulted the ref on a number of occasions. Every time we as a committee voted to ban the player concerned for life.

However the depressing fact was that each case I saw was then appealed by the player to the county FA and every single time our life ban was commuted to one or two months and the player concerned was free to get back out there. More than once a player went on to do it again and still got the reprieve from the county FA. I blame the old guys in blazers
