Had he judged it no foul then I agree, nobody is getting away with that dissent..
He's made a decision that it's not a foul.
Justin Whittle!! October 26, 2005 Grimsby Town Carling Cup!! Any more stars on offer???
Even less excuse for the OTT dissent then!He did call the foul...
Your opinion is that it's a cynical foul - that's not a fact. The referee's entitled to his opinion, and he's entitled to not be yelled at for having that opinion.And yes, the elite referees are def not going to award a playerr a fk then caution them for a reaction like that.
A public park referee would. A "you cant speak to me like that" kinda ref.
Thats why that ref is out there, and we are sitting watching him with a cup of tea and a tube of pringles.
The kinda ref that does not action a cynical foul but strongly clamps down on someone (correctly) telling him he has under reacted, is every players most despised kind of ref....

Human though. Like being shouted at by Rooney england captain... this was being shouted at by one of the 5(?) greatest players of all time who very very rarely has disciplinary problems... about a decision that might have been regretted..,
If it helps, it winds me up even more when Rooney does it!Human though. Like being shouted at by Rooney england captain... this was being shouted at by one of the 5(?) greatest players of all time who very very rarely has disciplinary problems... about a decision that might have been regretted..,
... and Ron, who is a gent as well as a cyborg, apologises to the ref. Respect.
With all due respect that's complete rubbish, and a cowardly mentality I absolutely wouldn't have expected from you. Especially given we're talking about theoretically one of the top ref's in the world, we should be expecting better!
He's made a decision[that it's not a foul]. And he might be technically wrong, but once the decision's been given that's kind of irrelevant. Allowing a player to talk to you like that - and to then turn round and give you both barrels again having been already told not to - is not only very wrong, it's also massively damaging to his match control.
As I pointed out before, he then doesn't feel empowered to punish a further act of dissent from a Spain player, because he knows he's just dropped the ball with Portugal's star man. If I let those two acts of dissent slide on a Sunday morning, the players would pick up on it and I'd find myself under constant pressure for the rest of the match. Top level refereeing isn't just about foul recognition, and he's let himself down here IMO.
