Oh do f*** offI'd say telling someone to f off is pretty clearly foul and abusive language

Foul and abusive language. The first such red card on the pitch for this offence since Alan Smith in 2008. Yet we've seen players shout abuse at the refs many, many times in the intervening period without punishment.It wasn't for dissent.

15 years since the last on the field of play. 12 years since the last off the field of play.Exactly.
Dunk knew he was in trouble when he was walking away from Taylor. First he offered the hand-of-apology behind his back and then a full-on handshake.
He knew he'd overstepped the mark and was risking an early bath.
The only strange bit, for me, is the straight red and not a second yellow. It can't be the case that on Saturday Lewis Dunk abused a referee worse than anyone else has in the last 12 or 15 years, depending which stat is correct.
It's Gerry Cottle's Circus (clown section)Is it the FA or the PL that employs the refs?
AgreeI’ve seen the penalty decision for Forest attributed to evening the decisions.
Why do decisions need to be evened out?
Admittedly, I was at home watching Soccer Saturday but the panel consists of ex players who have the benefit of replays in front of them.
Our penalty was the result of Wood pulling Predro down. You can see it clearly on the highlights, but it was called on tv as well.
The Forest penalty was discussed and described by Michael Dawson as a coming together, but not a foul. Taylor didn’t give it but VAR told him to have a look. Why? Why do penalties need to be evened out?
It’s not children at a party where everyone has to have a fair share.
Only one Oliver and in fact is was our game against VillaHave you ever seen a referee overturn a VAR decision? Once called over it's pretty much a foregone conclusion.
My daughter picked up a stone on the walk to school this morning and threw it at a lampost to make a noise. I told her off. However, her first response was "but I've seen other parents let their children do it". I told her I didn't care what other parents said and it wasn't the right thing to do. She then called me corrupt and told me Alan Smith or Lee Cattermole was the last child to be told off for throwing a stone at that lampost, which I thought was an amazing reference seeing as she's five.I'm not angry as such. I am a little peeved that Taylor decided to take action concerning an "offence" that occurs in nearly every match but is never punished. This seems unfair, possibly corrupt.
Not everyone necessarily wants every single decision to go to their team. I’ve sat in WSU on occasion feeling sure that an Albion goal was offside when it was allowed, or suspecting that one of our own had dived.There is a lot of talk on here about refereeing incompetence. I regularly ref school youth football and that's stressful enough with whingeing parents questioning every decision. I can't begin to imagine what it is like trying to ref a Premier league match with twenty two absolute cheats playing on the pitch, thirty thousand or more biased fans screaming at you and minute frame by frame analysis of every decision. Who would do it?
So what we need is refereeing perfection; maybe reffing by artificial intelligence. But we'd still moan wouldn't we? It's not about incompetence or perfection; we just want every single decision given to our team or they're wrong. Someone beam me back to the 60s please...
We can't obtain consistency for the past. We, generally, agree that refs should be protected from abuse.
I'm ok with Dunk's red card so long as he is simply the first and this standard is applied consistently in the future......
It is, of course, possible that a player telling a referee that he's a complete bellend straight to his face is actually a fairly rare occurenceWe can't obtain consistency for the past. We, generally, agree that refs should be protected from abuse.

My neighbour's 4-year-old has been learning Spanish since lockdown.My daughter picked up a stone on the walk to school this morning and threw it at a lampost to make a noise. I told her off.

Now I'm not an expert lip reader but I'm fairly sure I saw Youri Tielemans call Rob Jones "f***ing shit" yesterday to his face. I genuinely can't see the difference unless bald is now the offensive word we all should refrain from saying.It is, of course, possible that a player telling a referee that he's a complete bellend straight to his face is actually a fairly rare occurence
Maybe the F word is deemed slightly less offensive than the C word.Just another example of inconsistency. Every week there are similar incidents treated completely differently
Ashley Young yesterday. - on a booking already trips Martial in the box as he’s going through on goal. Clear penalty and clear yellow card. Brooks books Martial for diving
VAR overturns it - pen awarded.
No yellow card because they felt the tackle wasn’t dangerous apparently
Young then calls John Brooks a F**k*n* T*at.
(I suppose he didn’t get a second yellow as he was just stating facts?)
He said Mr Taylor I think you may have got the decision incorrectDo we know what he is supposed to have said? I've not read all 350 posts to find out so apologies if it's already been mentioned.
He didn't say it to his face.It is, of course, possible that a player telling a referee that he's a complete bellend straight to his face is actually a fairly rare occurence
