2 types of referee

[SM]

i am thinking that there are (at least)2 types of referee when it comes to dealing with mouthy players. Or rather, the aftermath of their mouthyness.

Referee type 1 - responds to verbal pressure by giving "soft" decisions to that team.

Referee type 2 - responds to verbal pressure by giving nothing but cast iron decisions to that team.

Turns out I am a type 2.

A little while ago, player giving it the mouth. Shortly later in the game he gets a strong challenge from an opponent which could be a foul. Not a chance he is getting that decision.

I hear him moaning to an opponent as I am turning to follow play, the opponent laughs "you were just on his case and then you ask for a soft free kick? You're an idiot"

Didn't really think about any of this until after the game. On reflection, it turns out this is my reaction to non dissent moaning/mouthing off.

Thoughts?

You forgot at least one more type.....

Type 3 - responds to verbal pressure by recognising it as dissent and cautioning appropriately.

Didn't bother reading the last paragraph padders?

Pre or post edit?

Regardless, verbal pressure is simple another description of dissent, but one that is used to avoid having to deal with it correctly......or maybe at a huge stretch you could wrap it up under "shows a lack of respect for the game"....either way...its a lemon and £10 to your respective CFA once you get bored with it......

No edit padders. You just didn't read it properly! Happens with age mate!

Let's look at type 3;

Type 3 - the referee who responds to anything with a Charles Bronson like approach, wielding the cards he holds in his pocket like a despotic crazy person with a power mad grin.

Type 4 - who is type 1 normally, but a type 3 when there is an observer watching.....

No because then the clubs blame us and it's not our fault

What about Type 5: who goes on officiating the game exactly as fairly and impartially as he did before...

Who is this honest, trustworthy, upstanding member of the refereeing community who does it properly. They need to be reported.. as they are trying to give referees a good name.
