And yet you said this :

"Something that is depressingly predictable is rugby fans lecturing football fans on what's wrong with their sport, especially when it comes to the relationship between players and officials."

So it seems you are interested in rugby refereeing.

Nope. You, a rugby fan, were the one that brought player - referee relations up.

And what happened in the first game of said football?
Maybe you'd rather pretend everything is rosy.

Doesn't matter if it's first post or the millionth, the fact is unfortunately some things never change.

And whole point of my original post was despite all these measures nothing ever changes.

And what everybody else is saying is that you are wrong.

It was ONE person, it is not symptomatic of football, it has become fairly rare on football grounds, but you are never going to completely stamp it out, anywhere.
