I've heard this term used a couple of times recently. Once I was unsure who had said it, so couldn't sanction. Next time I was on the the line and the referee clearly heard it and didn't sanction - One bench was particularly offended by the term but as AR I could do nothing further.
Last night, middling a U18 game and after a nothing foul on halfway the fouled player gets up, gives some verbal to the lad who fouled him and then shouted "YOU ****ING SPASTIC" at him. Instant red card from me.
Spoke to his manager afterwards and said that, for me, that term is about as offensive as it gets. The only thing worse would be a racist slur.
Just looking for thoughts really...
