It's not strictly PL, at least anymore in Villa's recent case, but Villa are being charged £42 at Sheffield Wednesday on the opening day.

Absolute ******* disgrace. If Villa fans have anything about them they'll boycott it. Or at the least make a serious protest. And that should go for ALL Championship clubs. They've seen what strength of unity can bring around with the £30 PL away cap.

More fool them if they do stand for it.

looks as if Wednesday away is a no go for me this year,god would the football football hurry the **** up and start please
 
New stricter rules on confronting the referee have been introduced, straight red card if you make contact with an official in an aggressive of confrontational manner or us offensive, insulting or abusive language/gestures

Booking for, anything visibly disrespectful to any official, an aggressive response to decisions, confronting an official face to face, running towards a ref to contest a decision, physical contact with an official and a booking for at least one player when two or more from a team surround a match official.

If the rules are enforced who does everyone think will be the first team to get every player sent off?
 
I'd be okay with those changes IF video referee was a thing. Right now, with the level of refereeing ranging from "pretty meh" to "terrible", those rules are pretty stupid.
 
About ******* time this happens. Only the captain should be ever allowed to speak to referee, and it should be in a manner of "Yes sir, no sir". Works for rugby just fine.
 
Due to Sam Allardyce being named England boss, appears David Moyes will be taking charge at Sunderland as he is in advanced talks with the club.

Good luck to him if that's the case.

I can tell you that as someone who has played both for Yorkshire and England Schoolboys we are taught from the minute you come into the game to respect the referee, played both codes of rugby since Under 5s and you are taught in training and reminded in teamtalks never to back chat and always adress the ref as sir. I remember once in my third ever game for yorkshire I had scored two tries and made 3 ( I was seriously good till I discovered birds, beer and ganje) I was about to go over to complete my hattrick but it got ruled out for a forward pass I said for fucksake in earshot of my coach he hauled me off tore a strip off me and I didn't start the next game. Safe to say didn't do that again haha

Just because someone got a decision wrong doesn't give players a reason to sprint over and swear at them, it's a disgrace. You don't see referees sprinting over to a player and going "You're f**king s*it had a man wide open for the cut back but, being a selfish w*nker you took the shot from a tight angle and missed." If they did that whenever players got a decision wrong think the players would get majorly ******. Mistakes happen no excuse for a team to huddle around a ref and swear at him.

Barman at a pub near me used to play and then went on to be a ref in rugby and he calls pretty much every bloke Sir so I guess it's habit from that. He does claim its because he cant remember any names but he's remembered and said mine when I've seen him in the street before lol

I'm writing this for the third time so hopefully it goes through now, fm-base is being dodgy...

Come on, you can't compare those things. Player making mistake means nothing to referee, ref making a mistake means 90 minutes of hard work player put in means ****. You can't fault a player that works his *** off the whole game just to have points stolen by bad decision (overlooking obvious offside, giving penalty when opposition player dived etc) for overreacting.


Don't get me wrong, I don't like major protests or physical contacts with a referee either but the way those rules sound ref can book a player just because he doesn't like the look on his face. I'm sure you would not like to see all your work lost just because someone made a mistake somewhere, and you also have to take into account that football is a heated sport and players may overreact.


Bottom line is, get video referee in finally, and I am completely fine with those rules.

Well most of the time when the players are protesting they are totally wrong when they talk back to the ref, they do it for the most obvious fouls you will ever see. If they only did it when the ref was wrong you would have an argument but, they do it everytime something doesn't go their way irregardless to how obvious it is the right decision was made
