Only the captain should be allowed to talk to the Ref

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Just watching the Newcastle man city game. Whatever the rights and wrings if the disallowed goal, there is no way that all those Newcastle players should be allowed to carry on and in just shouting in the face of the ref. it can't help the game.

If only the captain was allowed to speak to the ref, all this would be stamped out immediately and some control might be brought back to the game.

If only the referees had the balls to start sending people off for foul and abusive language, this would be stamped out immediately and some control might be brought back into the game

Agreed.... although in the instance of a potential booking it should only be the offending player (plus Captain backup?) who should talk to the ref. I watched a game fairly recently on TV - cant recall which one but 7 players attempted to back up the offending player's plea for clemency ....

I was about to thumsup your post, and then I thought about it. A ref getting surrounded is wrong, and they should be able to dish out cards. But when one player is involved in an incident, and they're the player that knows what happened, it makes sense for them to be able to air their feelings. As long as they don't cross a line, it should be ok. And if they cross the line, they should get booked.

Of course. I mean that only a player being addressed by the ref and then the captain should be able to speak to the ref. would be insane to ban any player at any point from addressing the ref.

I don't know to be fair but they never seem to surround the ref and moan all the time. I think if they do the ref can move play forwards 10/15 yards ?
