knightwelsh78 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The ref for Buffs V Glens today was clearly heard telling Buffs Tommy Maitland to 'shut the f*** up' is this acceptable conduct for an official? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teofilio Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm sure the ref was spoken to in a similar or worse manner so I wouldn't have a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappy Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Yes it's acceptable. Well done ref. I bet it worked as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightwelsh78 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 I think they lose a lot of credibility if they drop to that level. Makes a mockery of them giving out cards for descent if they're doing the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Totally acceptable imo. Refs get dogs abuse from team players, officials and supporters constantly. As soon as a reply is made then the other side go all "woe is me" reaction. If you cant take it back then "shut the f**k up." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightwelsh78 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Yes it's acceptable. Well done ref. I bet it worked as well Don't know if it did m8 but it was amazing to see how precious some of the players got about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senderos Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I never had a problem with a ref speaking in such terms as long as he didn't mind a bit back. This meant players were treated like adults and the ref inevitably gained respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sponsorsladdie Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I think it's fair enough, they get enough grief off players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightwelsh78 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Remember the stooshie when Stuart Dougal told Christian Nerlinger to F*** off? He was reprimanded and fined £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankie2015 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Think they maybe lose a bit of credibility but must be very difficult to bite their tongue. Always have felt the level of abuse referees receive is a disgrace and swearing at a red should rightly result in a yellow or red card depending on severity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Ideally they should be above that sort of thing but as a way of showing a bit of assertiveness when needed it's no biggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightwelsh78 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 The general consensus thus far is that yes it's okay ! Whilst I tend to agree I am quite surprised about that. I would have thought most folk would have expected officials to set a better example (an observation not an opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
