Yes players and managers have to share the blame with their angry histrionics, however, having witnessed several awful performances from refs/ assistants this season alone it’s plain to see why. The game has changed in as much that everything that officials get wrong has a cost , either financially as it effects league position, players fines etc and can also cause managers to be sacked. A clamp down on ‘ref hassle’ would undoubtedly help but also the removal/ demotion of sub standard officials would also help. Oh and bin VAR.
maybe we need to look at how many officials the NFL use. Maybe we need four liners to back up the ref. Remove VAR and put a pitch side camera for the in stadium staff to use. That would free up some money at the top level for extra eyes around the pitch? Would also mean when the players try crowding the ref, he gets his own team around him!
