It’s great to see that common sense as won out here for a change.
I am however thankful that some of the people on here or not police officers by day job. Because by the way the assistant referee had been banged to rights for shrugging someone off, who was manhandling them would make our prison system even more overwhelmed than it’s is with people doing time for such a serious crime……..
The FA would do well now to set very clear boundaries to all about physical contact with match officials and get this situation under control to avoid any further incidents.
Enough is enough, it’s not in the name of entertainment, or passion, or any other excuse the pundits and footballers wish to make. It’s disrespectful, it’s bad discipline and it doesn’t happen in any other sport in the world!
