I've seen players do the same to refs before and they give them a look and grab a yellow. Ridiculous!

True, but it is disgusting that players frequently scream at referees and get away with it. We want a society (or football culture) where everyone is treated with respect regardless of race, sex, orientation, age, religion, and role in society (i.e. being a referee); but when "professional footballers are recorded on television" showing disrespect to referees many people want nothing to be done. As much as you may want it, you cannot have both a football culture that is respectful and a football culture that doesn't punish disrespect. Tough choices must be made, I support punishing 100% of players that disrespect referees instead of the odd example here and there.

Rational Fan i cannot disagree with you.
You are absolutely right. However the authorities should have done this years ago, but they decided to sleep walk through the abyss.
They have now decided to come out of the coma they have been in to suit their narrative, and that will enable the FA the Establishment to throw both Mitro and Fulham FC under the bus.

In the mean time the spoilt millionaire footballers will continue to throw themselves down on the pitch with their screwed up faces  pretending to be hurt, and looking at every opportunity to deceive and influence weak referees.
Sky and bbc will conveniently overlook the obvious, especially when their staff are packed with ex Man U, Liverpool, as well as other favourite big clubs to influence the simpletons and the the pot hunters and the plastic supporters.
The beautiful game has turned ugly and the football authorities have sat on their hands, along with the referees association and have not taken responsibility and therefore you reap what you sow and the FA as is proving once again is not fit for purpose.
It's full of quangos and jobs for the boys hiding behind their emails.
Top of their Agendas at every monthly meeting is what is on the menu at the pre match VIP banquets before each International at Wembley, that is their priority, not grassroots or the remainder of the Football Pyramid, but they have unwittingly created since it replaced the old Division One is a Monster known as the Premier League, and the only beneficiaries are the players, their agents and the big clubs.
At the same time the standard of refereeing has deteriorated year by year and that is no coincidence.

Sir Humphrey Appleby would think that football is paradise these days.

Paradise is when you have a straight Large Dark Rum with no ice in one hand, and a woman with the mind of a Cairo sewer in the other hand.
Its not the man in the fight, it's the fight in the man.  🐘
