Well I give refs a lot of abuse as a speccie. I think it is a duty of every Leyther but we do not expect players to do it because thats our job. Theirs is to entertain ie the players .

Every now and again I find myself watching a football game on TV and the way the overpaid players talk to the officials is an absolute disgrace.

We don,t need players doing that in our sport and I feel the ban is justified.

His persistant abuse and waiting for the Ref to leave the pitch to carry on the abuse are what's done it IMO.

nobody wants to see the refs abused, unless they deserve it!icon_wink.gif

thats a joke. pretty clean record, nearly rest of season out! joke!!

rlf are a joke full stop

To ban Holly might be right but its the length of the ban that seems a little harsh when you consider his previous record since the early 90`s. Maybe he will appeal and get a slap on the wrist.

Given what you said there I think you're partly right but us shouting on to the pitch every 30 seconds over something and nothing is just as impressionable on the kids as the players flying off in the refs face.
