Respect refs or there Is anarchy, says Webb
REFEREES' chief Howard Webb has warned managers and players to set "example" to stop a repeat of the shameful scenes in happening in Turkey English football.
Webb branded the attack on Turkish referee Halil Umut Meler as "outrageous" after he was hit by MKE Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca.
But the sorry truth is that has happened level at and a grassroots manager's rant or a player abusing a referee is only one step away from escalating into full-scale violence on the football pitch. The Premier League, EFL and Football Association issued this joint week a statement to highlight the need for respect and to also highlight a shocking 88 per cent rise in bookings dissent for after an attempted crackdown by referees.
