Diamond's ban for abuse of ref
Nottingham Post
|April 16, 2025
NEWCASTLE director of rugby Steve Diamond has called for more accountability in referee-ing decisions after receiving a six-match ban for verbal abuse towards match officials.
Diamond appeared before an independent disciplinary panel and was given the suspension after admitting the charge, which took place during Falcons' 17-15 Gallagher Premiership defeat to Exeter.
A controversial finish saw Greg Fisilau's try snatch a last-minute victory and Diamond was unhappy after feeling there was an illegal clear-out ruck in the build-up to the game-winning score.
Speaking ahead of Friday's meeting with Northampton, Diamond described the Exeter incident as a "huge mistake" and suggested more experienced officials may be needed.
He said: "There's a problem with the disciplinary system, not the panel's make-up - they're good - and not a problem with the referees. There's only people like me prepared to say things about it, but it's not the first time these things have happened.
