[Albion] Turkish referee punched to the ground by club president

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Awful. The football authorities need to take firm action. Huge fine and relegate to non league should hopefully stop and copycat behaviour

And burn down Constantinople

You are part of the problem with lack of respect for officials. "You`d love it if an English idiot bricked an opposition manager through a bus and punched a ref". FFS

That's not what I was saying. I was making a comment on how the entirety of the Premier League and probably league football would be shut down for months if someone did that. Yet this happens a lot in Europe and no one bats an eyelid because they aren't English hooligans.

Listen to haaland scream in the refs face here, how is this acceptable?

Ref made an error, this is just a disgraceful reaction.

In the heat of the moment, in a sport contested at the very top level by ultra-competitive, elite players, I can understand Haaland's immediate reaction and frustration. That isn't saying I think it is acceptable or should go unchallenged, but I can see how it happened.

However, he then went home, found a clip of the incident, posted it on his SM and added the caption "Wtf." For me, that is completely unnecessary, unprofessional undermines refs and needs to be sanctioned. He needs to learn to just leave stuff like that on the pitch and understand that as massively high profile PL player, his actions can have unpleasant and unforeseen consequences. (Or good ones, if he chooses to use his SM positively).

If I had been the ref I would have posted a clip of Haaland missing that open goal from 12 yards in the same game and put that up on SM with the caption "Wtf." Which is just one of the very many reasons why I'm not a ref. Probably.

if the refs started actually punishing decent and abuse, might cut out this sort of behaviour. ( though not make stupid calls would also help. )

Yep, truly the special one.

Banned permanently. Good.

 

[Weststander]

Banned permanently. Good.

The other official who kicked the ref’s head should be too.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Good to see, in light of the recent events in Turkey, the whole 'respect' movement being, er respected, with people near me berating the lino for giving the right decision (they obviously thought it was the wrong one) and the ref being called a "nonce".

What a time to be alive

 

[Is it PotG?]

Istanbulspor president takes his side off the pitch after not getting a penalty v Trabzonspor.

All fun and games in Turkey.

I really hope we avoid Galatasaray SK.

The cowardly wanker on the right in the brown coat runs on and boots the ref in the head whilst he's down.
