I have seen many, many, times referees put reports in for various things after the game (sorry, include in their report), but why don't they just give cautions on the pitch?
If they cautioned on the pitch, then players will really need to rethink their own game (a foul could result in a red card, or if already on a booking, arguing will see them sent off too).
This week alone I have seen:
Leicester players charged with surrounding referee and assistant referee following a penalty given to Huddersfield. Caution everyone that comes running to you in protest.

Derby players charged with surrounding the referee after Ashley Cole was cautioned for diving.

If they get the card out for dissent/AA now, then it will eliminate the need to a) have to include in a report and get FA to fine clubs b) potentially stop the abuse referees get (and subsequently allow grassroots to do it without getting comments such as "they do it in the PL, so it must be fine". It will also mean that players on cards who seem to argue persistently will get suspended quicker (through collection of cards) and potentially even get sent off in the match...
What do you think?
Should referees actually deal with on the pitch and not on paper when they report it?
