Bad Language from the Dug-outs

[Redrup No2]

Nothing more attractive than hearing a bird call you a Kent!!!

[Krooner]

Who would you say is responsible for controlling the language at the game then?

 

I would say that everyone has a responsibility Mark.

 

Officials apply the laws of the game, players and technical areas show some common courtesy and manners and clubs should deal with people who step over the line as well.

 

I could mention the amount of times I asked benches to tone the language down to be told that i was being "busy". Perhaps in hindsight I should just have got the referee over and got the offenders removed.

[ellers]

Been sent from the dug out twice in the last two weeks for swearing, terrible really but I can't help myself throwing in a little for f sake etc, it wasn't aimed at anyone.

[The Mayor Of Simpleton]

I always thought Kent was a county... oh well.

[Don't Blame Me]

What about swearing by the fans?

 

Most of us have done it I should imagine, but it can become an embarrassment at times. I'm no prude and it doesn't offend me in the slightest but I do cringe on occasion at the totally unjustified abuse chucked out at officials and opposition players.

 

Sometimes it seems so out of context with the game that it just makes me laugh. Thing is though, generally speaking, when the players give the fans some banter back with a smile on their face, said fans then love him to bits.

 

It's an interesting dynamic that.

 

Players swearing at opposing fans has also been experienced. I don't think you were at the game that I have in mind but we did have the last laugh thanks to an outrageous air shot by the perpetrator that lead to our third goal. Must admit that I could not help giving the player in question an earful

at least that wasnt me you only scored two against us at yours lol

This case shows you how much the FA value their "Respect" campaign at the top of the game.

[Krooner]

Quite agree HKP. while the FA go off moaning about the punishment of Serbia they continue to practise hyprocisy of the highest order.

 

And the problem is now that adults with limited intelligence will use that as an excuse for their excessive behaviour at our level.

[Rother]

I hadn't thought of it in that way but it's an interesting angle that.

[HKP]

Barry should have got three matches for abusing an official. Set the bar high.

[Graham D]

Best way to deal with players abuse/swearing whatever at officials is the rugby method that was briefly introduced into football but has since disappeared. Usually swearing is directed after an offence given away. So each time the player remonstrates at the official the free kick is moved 10 yards closer to goal, until it becomes a penalty.

 

That would soon stop the abuse even at top level.

[HKP]

That was more for dissent, i.e. disagreeing with a decision. Abusing a referee should under the Laws of the Game be a red card.

[Graham D]

Yep fair point HKP, but maybe like all things if the players become used to that being the case, they will cut the swearing down across the board maybe?

Still think it is worth more of a try than it got and I was never sure why it was dropped as a law, if indeed it has been!

 

I cant imagine Sir Fergie tolerating Rooney giving away a penalty in that manner, soon stamps it out!

[johnnojudo]

Sin Bin for 10 mins would be far more suitable i feel. As manager, I would be extremely annoyed with a player if he was sin binned for 10 mins for gobbing off and we conceded when down to 10 men during his sin bin.

[Graham D]

Agreed, that works as well. The basic premise being to punish the team for a players abuse that will stop him/her doing it in the future, but not so severe that can potentially ruin a game ( I realise 10mins or a penno can do this, but with the player still on the game is still in the balance). Whilst a red card in theory punishes the player and the team, its pretty rare that it actually happens, especially in the top level, as it is seen as such a soft red and the officials are then hung drawn and quartered on TV for just upholding a law!!

Never happen,the County F.A.s revenue would plummet for starters.The only way to stop things like this,would be ON THE SPOT FINES,most Managers,Players,hate parting with THEIR OWN MONEY,many come to games without money,as can be witnessed in any CCL Bar after a game.Think how embarrassed they would be if they gobbed off,then could not pay.Street Cred out the window.

I'm not knocking the idea, across the water in the other island they were one of the first County FA's to trial this quite a few years ago.

 

I also like the idea of a sin-bin, football should do more to learn from other sports.

[Smudge]

Thinking about it a bit further,how many games have you been to this year,where the assistant has been unable to keep up with play,therefore guesses a decision,or gives no decision.I witnessed this at the R.P.V. v Badshot Lea game where the Referee Mr. Letheren(one for the notebook) had an excellent game.However he was let down 3 times by his Assistant,who in theory was in a better position,but due to his lack of pace,sold him down the River.This causes frustration to the Management and Players,which leads to dissent.However this does not excuse Bad Language,just a reason maybe for it.FITTER LINOS?

I dont think that will work JJ because most teams are organised enough not to concede in the 10 minutes.

No good being defensively organised if you're losing 1-0 with 9 minutes to play. LOL.
