This. Pull back the amount of usage massively. Give the referees back control of the game - only take it back temporarily when it's an absolute howler they have missed. Marginal calls on fouls, yellow or red etc should stay with the referee onfield unless the referee him/herself requests a...

My point is that for some reason screaming f*** off is apparently fine. It shouldn’t be. It’s never even a yellow.

Not necessarily - you are guessing what they mean. They quite often probably mean f*** off, because they think the ref is a C word. It's definitely foul and abusive language, and likely directed at the character of the ref. A player could say you're a fucker ref because they didn't like the...

I'm not arguing about Dunk really - his was probably a red. My point is that I cannot get my head around players (Wayne Rooney made a whole career of it) who countless times scream "F**K OFF" at referees and linos, all picked up by the cameras for the kids to see at home, and are never ever...

They're not shouting at the decision. They're shouting at the referee. They're telling the referee to f*** off. I struggle to see how that's less bad than calling someone a bellend.

You just said things directly aimed at you would be a red!?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. "F**K OFF!!" shouted clearly in the direction of an official not count for you? There is TONNES of that most weeks.

This is incredibly Larry David - endlessly getting called a bald asshole, often just being caught in the crossfire.

Fine - but every single week, in every single game, we (the viewer, and there are millions of us, many of whom are children, won't somebody think of the children?!) see players shouting F*** OFF at the officials. Every single game. Maupay did it in the last non-albion game I watched live...

Whilst I understand everyone saying Dunk should've known better, this is the FIRST instance of a straight red for abusive language in the Prem since 2008. So throughout Dunk's whole career this has never happened in the Prem.

Club have CONFIRMED today that the Pavilion kit will be worn for this match.

No reason Newcastle and Villa won't struggle the way we have - Newcastle already are. We could well end up in the second half of the season with fitter squads than either. Really want Enciso back ASAP. You say inevitable improvement from Chelsea and Man Utd, but who knows? Both continue to be...

Quite incredible in amongst all this that we're only 4 points behind Spurs, and 6-8 behind Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal.

This is plot is really thickening.

I would expect it to go far based on 2014 voting.

The Day Today is still to come in this tournament.

I'd be VERY happy to end the group voting now - Partridge and This Country in joint first place.

Nottingham also has had a glut of really good new restaurants added in the centre over the last couple of years. In-laws live up there and will be up there at Christmas time. Got a lot of time for Nottingham.
