Black card for intimidating umpires

(Oldest Posts First)

Really annoys me when goalkeepers shout "WIDE" right into an umpires face and wave their arms aside, even when the ball has clearly gone over the bar.
Id like to see goalkeepers be given a black card for this. That would stamp it out pretty sharpish. .
What do ye think? It is pretty cynical behaviour after all.

I agree Jon. Its a pet hate of mine and one that should be eradicated. It would only take the 1 black card too before it would be put to bed.

Ive seen a few umpires that should get the black card.

agree with spoonger here
umpires are mostly cowardly they refuse to get involved in incidents which happen under their eyes
theirs a gaa slogan give respect get respect
its a two way street
