Hi Lads,
Im looking for clarification on a matter that happened recently to one of our players.
During a league game the player was booked for a missed timed tackle.Later on in the same game the same player had a verbal argument with the referee about a decision that he taught the ref had made wrong.There was some swear words used as there is in every game but he did not call the ref any unsavoury names.The ref gave the same player a strong and lengthy talking to and that was it no second yellow card.The game eneded and both teams and ref went there seperate ways.
Two weeks later the club recieved a phone call from Tommy Lewis stating the player in question had recieved a 2 game ban for abusive language towards the referree.
Can a player be suspended after a match even though the ref hadnt sent the same player off.Instead he decides to put it in his match report.If this is the case whats to stop refs doing this to players they may have a dislike towards.Its surely just a case of the refs word against the players word and we all know who will get the benefit of the doubt.
Hope someone can put some clarity on this.
