Why are players so thick?

[Basil-Don]

In the last 4 days I have watched 2 games in the ESL and seen 12 players yellow carded and 2 sent off for dissent and arguing with ref.What is it with these idiots,do they think the ref is going to change his mind because they have abused him?

I would reckon that in every game I have watched this season at least 2 or 3 players are booked for arguing with the ref,when are they going to realise that they are stupid to do it.

And remember that most Referees do it for pleasure and without them there would be no football.

Bit harsh sometimes refs make bad decisions and their attidudes to their own mistakes cause untold arguements

For example we had an offside given against us from a throw on on monday, the ref told me he knows it was wrong but he couldn't go against he's linesman, how do u ignore stupidity like that.

A ref should always make sure that everything is correct in law, regardless of what it matters to his linos. Every ref says to me that offsides are mine at all times, except if I am wrong in law.

 

The one the other day (Wednesday), the lino said he thought you got a touch on the ball when you jumped for it and the player that then received it was offside when the touch "happened", the ref said he wasn't in position to see whether it skimmed your head or not, so in that situation he would back up the lino.
