Film ma już pare lat, ale widzę go chyba pierwszy raz. Żegnając sędziego japoński piłkarz ściągnął koszulkę, by po raz ostatni dostać od niego żółtą kartkę. Na bieliźnie pod spodem miał napisane życzenia pożegnalne.

60+ members turned out to welcome our new Referee Development Manager @JoyNevilleRef to the ARCB last evening. Discussions around Game Mgmt, Tech Zones & High Tackles led to some excellent conversation. Joy is pic'd with ARCB President Des Roche #SpiritofRugby #Respectthereferee

Great match to referee today between @agsrfc and @ResolvenRFC in Div 2 WC. Both teams wanting to throw the ball around. 51 points and 8 tries scored in total. Outstanding welcome by AGS. Good luck for rest of the season to both. @WRU_Community #WelshRugby #RespecttheReferee

This is #disgusting behaviour and I see why County FAs struggle to retain grassroots #referees when this sort of abuse is thrown towards them! Imagine if this happened to their daughter - what would they say, and do? #EnoughIsEnough #KickItOut #NoRefereeNoGame #RespectTheReferee

We've been made aware of an incident in the @HDAFL on a match over the weekend where a female referee suffered such significant abuse she has decided to quit refereeing. The offending club called her, amongst other things, 'a f***ing cheat' and a 'joke that doesn't belong on a football pitch'. This referee has been refereeing for just under a year, achieved a promotion and has been involved in cup finals already, all whilst suffering and recovering from a broken leg, and has now decided to put down the whistle in response to this issue. We are aware that when the league were asked to respond decisively and strip the appointed official from the offending teams next home game, a small punishment for the offence committed, the management committee refused to do so deeming it to be an 'unfair' punishment. We would ask that the HDAFL Management Committee reconsider this decision and act to take a stand in supporting grassroots referees and stamping out the unacceptable levels of abuse that exist within the game. If teams act like this then we believe they should not get a ref the following week. @Slaithwaiteutd

I traveled to a college game expecting to be in the press box like the last 9 years it has been just to find out they want to put the referees in the LAUNDRY ROOM!!! Excuse me?!? UNACCEPTABLE & DISGUSTING! #RespectTheReferee #SoccerRefLife

@GasmanCOTN The Orient bench was berating the fourth official all game and especially after the sending-off. Aggressively shouting while approaching the referee at end of game and then sarcastically shaking hands with his assistant is why the game’s going 😖😖 #respectthereferee

Refs & officials get lots of unfair criticism but without them we'd have no games to play or watch. These four at the @HertfordshireFA Junior Cup Final last Friday did a great job especially Referee Chad Greatorex. #RespectTheReferee
