sorry Stuart, I obviously include you in the praising. I didn't mean to not include you there. Please don't ban me
You're wrong though about the personal slanging, it's absolutely necessary in this case. The punishment did not fit the crime, not even close. This sort of thing keeps happening, from the same people. Whilst you guys decided that the punishment in this case was enough (and i respect your decisions, as it can't be easy), you can bet that the 10 second penalty imposed has only antagonised said villain, and further fuel his persistent stupidity and bullyish behaviour.
Swearing and abusive behaviour towards you officials has absolutely no place in this hobby/sport. You all must surely agree with me on that, and if you do, then the logical step is to send the culprits home.
What happens when footballers swear at referees? They get sent off!
Once they've gone, we can all enjoy a much nicer friendlier meeting.
