Why do managers harangue the 4th official when there is a contentious decision? He can do fuck all about it and will only shrug his shoulder and say "not sure why the ref didn't give a penalty there Boss" May as well wait until half time or full time and give the incompetent twat in the middle both barrels.

The fundamental question is what the hell 4th officials do in the first place. It seems as if their main job is to be a verbal punch bag for the coaches and so become the flashpoint for all sorts of problems. The only job they would be useful for is to sit on a chair somewhere and watch replays on a monitor to advise the ref on key decisions.

They still put in a match report at the end. If a 4th official highlights something the referee doesn't, it is easier to investigate than if the clubs do their complaints procedure.

They're there in case the ref gets picks up an injury like that one who got a cramp during one of our matches a couple weeks back.

Bang on, can't see the point in a 4th official standing where he does....that's EXACTLY what he should be doing, watching replays and giving advice on major decisions...... I remember as a kid when there wasn't such things as 4th officials, and in one particular match the Ref got injured so the Liner took over and there was a request over the tannoys if anyone in the crowd was a part-time official who could run the line!!!

Given that football has a high percentage of unruly arrogant cunts, if you took the fourth official away the managers would either run on the pitch and confront the ref or run down the touchline to harangue the linesman.
The only thing I'd change about the fourth official is to bring in a rule that they have to be at least six foot seven inches, and be trained to the top level in at least three martial arts. So if the cunts in the dugout would say anything then.

Occasionly they come on to be the ref if the proper ref is injured but other than that they do nothing.

I know people like the idea of intermediate cards and sin bins and whatever but I'd give officials the ability to dole out a series of playground punishments for the usual cuntery. Head shaking - wet willy in the ear Wagging a finger at an official - finger bent back until the player is on their knees Sarcastic clapping - chinese burn Verbal abuse - wedgie Going face to face with the ref - linesman runs up behind and crouches down, ref pushes player over Being Mourinho / pretending to be Mourinho - rabbit punch to the kidney Waving imaginary cards - ralgex in shorts
