"So you think we should have two different lots of rules. One for televised matches, and another for everyone else."
Obviously the bits applied after the game are only for top level games, very much as it is in rugby now. there are no video refs at slaphead old boys v snotsville vets you know.
"You are calling for Referees to be undermined by having their decisions overturn every week."
Quite the opposite, read what I said, action cannot currently be taken because the ref is deemed to have dealt with it. No refs decisions will be over turned, things the ref missed that's all.
"The captain may be as badly placed as a referee in seeing an incident. If, for example, a player is elbowed in the face, is unable to complain about that?" The laws of the game already cover that, there is no mechanism for claiming anything, if no one sees it then tough all I'm saying is that the captain should be the avenue of comminucation to the referee. Again see rugby, works well there.
"If a player curses in Portuguese or Latvian or Egyptian will that be allowed? Will referees have to learn all those languages, or is it only english speaking player you want to ban?"
don't be a prat, you know what I mean, see 3) anyway they will not even be talking to the ref.
"On yer bike R1. Comeback when you have thought it out properly. "
Just general points, it is well known that the current game does not cover every possibility and you expect me to cover, what happens if the players are from planet Gromit type questions".
So you thought the Yellow card idea wasn't too bad then.
Instead of spilitting hairs just for once why don't you notice the general thrust of the question rather than trying your oh so twee, naa naa na na na type observartions?
ok so what would you do then?
