RateTheRef

It is a ridiculous decision to suspend him at all, never mind for three weeks.  Apart from the fact that it is clearly disproportionate, it simply draws attention to a referee getting it slightly wrong.  As if referees don't have enough to deal with.  He forgot his coin, found a way round it which didn't impact the game in any way and everyone was happy.  Where is the problem?

Incidentally at a game I lined earlier this season the referee used a plain plastic disc which was a different colour on each side to toss.  Since this was most certainly not a coin presumably he should also be banned.
