'They’ve now got ex-referees to act as a VAR on the VAR, so obsessed with decisions have they become. It all foments anger and injustice and makes it seem not just normal, but your right as a fan, as a manager and as a player.' JohnnyTheNic
Jurgen Klopp showed little contrition for abusing an official and David Moyes was quick to back him. Their actions set a precedent for abuse at all levelsfor protesting about a decision not to award a free-kick for a foul on Mo Salah, Jurgen Klopp said his dismissal was “in the end, probably deserved”.
Moyes went on to say: “I think if we stood there and did nothing I think our supporters, the public, the media would probably be questioning why not? I think if you look at the incident he got angry about, he was correct, wasn’t he?”And it’s not just Klopp and Moyes; most managers would speak similarly. Losing your temper and raging at officials because you disagree with their decision is widely assumed to be part of the game.
This is, of course, like most problems in the world, a male thing. Women are not nutting anyone at football, they’re not threatening anyone with physical violence. Indeed, this abuse of officials is unique to the men’s game. In women’s football, you barely even see anyone protesting a decision, let alone losing their mind over it. I don’t doubt it has happened somewhere, sometime, but it is not embedded in the culture.
Proper punishment for the club via deduction of points would help, but this sort of behaviour seems too endemic now and worse yet, kids learn it at an early age. Anyone who has ever seen kids playing football knows they copy everything they see footballers do on TV, good or bad. If a player does some sort of dramatic goal celebration on Saturday, kids will be doing it on Monday.
