Not before time, if it is followed through on that is

My most hated is when a player shows a fake yellow card to try and persuade the ref to book or send someone off. Hope that is included also

That is if the ref's have the bottle to stick to it.

Hasn't it always been a red for foul and abusive language?

Aye I got sent off many many many years back playing sunday league for that offense .
I mean me , who would have thought such a thing

Great news. As Nick says, I think there has always been something in place, just seems that now they are going to start enforcing.

What they should have layered on top of that however should have been that only the captain can approach the ref.

Same as It wasn't even the ref it was a cheating lino!

 

[tisza]

definitely needed.
Problem will be inconsistencies between different refs.
"Most" players will soon learn.
Still think retrospective bans for cheating & diving should be added (yes Pepe I'm looking at you)

Hopefully they've been briefed to properly clamp down on it, could make for an interesting first few games.

Needs to be enforced though, refs are scared of players. Didnt they bring in a rule 5 years ago or so where any discent resulted in the freekick being moved 10 yards closer? Did that last about a year.

Not a rugby fan but when I do watch it is the one thing that really stands out is the respect and discipline the players show towards the refs.

It is, though there too I can see a little dissent creeping in and some players arguing with decisions.

Shirt pulling should be an automatic yellow. Diving an automatic red.
