Challenge to League Managers Association to discipline Managers who confront referees
PLAYER INDISCIPLINE AND MANAGER INDISCIPLINE=SPECTATOR INDISCIPLINE
What a weekend of Football. Following on from Mauricio Pochettino's touchline ban for confronting match officials, Marco Silva does the same at Newcastle United v Everton.
A 'fan' invades the pitch at Birmingham City v Aston Villa and assaults a player.
A 'fan' invades the pitch at Arsenal v Manchester United and confronts a player.
Let's contrast this with a weekend of the Six Nations Rugby Union matches and a week of Rugby League fixtures. Little or no player indiscipline, no Manager/Coach indiscipline and no confronting/berating of referees, and certainly no 'fans' invading the pitch to confront players.
Can you see the link?
As a parent, which sport would you rather take your loved ones to?
The LMA and the PFA need to take action instead of always trotting out the 'it's a societal problem.' Rugby players, supporters, and managers/coaches are part of society too, and no indiscipline.
I am more than happy to host a forum to help tackle this 'Football' issue.
Who would like to join me?
