www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-66745500How the hell did this yob get his touchline ban overturned. Abused a young ref at an under-7s game and then threw punches at a match official who stepped in to protect the young ref. There has got to be strong deterrents against such behaviour.

It's all very depressing.
The younger generations i work with all seem so hyper-aggressive these days, and it feels like a point has to be proven all the time. I know growing up there was fighting, but it just seems so much more prevalent.

Think the 5 year ban is lenient myself,as for the 150 hours community work should all be done whilst his favourite team is playing. |

What an absolute bell end. If he’s getting that angry at an under 7s football game, makes you wonder what he does behind closed doors

If I'd have been a referee under the Liverpool FA, I'd have proposed a strike.

I was an assistant referee for six years at under 11 to under 16 level. While most were ok, the abuse from some parents - and coaches - was unbelievable at times.
Grassroots officials need much more protection from the FA and this case is a step in totally the wrong direction.
