frank de bouff Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Listening to TalkSport and as one may imagine, there are mixed views on this. Would be interested to hear thoughts on this. In my opinion it's about time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 As everyone one knows I am a fan of Arsenal , but you can't push an official , he knows he was in the wrong , and has apologized , what comes his way he will have to take on the chin and move on , silly but I think the pressure for a man his age maybe catching up with him , can't defend his actions , he better get his cheque book out , and how can he discipline Xahka after his reckless tackle that could of cost three points.

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Idiot, as are most of these super duper managers, they think they can do what they like - they cannot. You see it on the highlights....running over to the 4th official, screaming and shouting, what do they think that will achieve...idiots. A serious fine (millions) and a lengthy ban....including banned from the stadium on match days. If they do not do that...it's open season for officials to be harassed.

somersetspur Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 If that was a player,manhandling an official,what would be the punishment.? Paolo Di Canio.? What was his punishment. Wenger is one of the worst offenders,and always have been,this time he has gone over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think in hindsight he will know he could be made an example of , not pretty to see from the manager of Arsenal , very disappointing for the club and fans ,no excuses from me ,they call him Le Prof but it was a serious misjudged action . Can see a few match ban and a big fine coming , should know better at his age , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bartlam Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 A public hanging is in order. Or, strip him naked and make him walk through London whilst you're walking behind him, ringing a bell and saying "shame" every few seconds.

I think all Gooners will think he will be made an example of , just like George Graham was the only manager at that time found guilty of taking money from transfers , nobody else was found guilty , still don't condone what he has done , but think an example will be made . As it happened the same week as the media has got hold of the story of the young ref calling for a strike in March to highlight abuse of refs , even the BBC news this morning caught it .

Goldeneye Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Perhaps we should concentrate on stamping out the abuse of officials locally before we try and clean it up nationally!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you not unite with your fellow colleagues across the country just to make a stand and as a show of support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we are naive enough to think that, but we believe that positive steps have begun to be made by the CCFA with the Behaviour Group and their recommendations. I think many also think that problems are with the minority rather than the majority and it would be unfair to punish those clubs that treat referees well.

They must make an example of him, if they are serious about the whole respect campaign. If he is seen to get away with it, we could see it down at our level of the game. Yes I know we've seen it already but, abuse and violence against officials must be stamped out. I would also deduct Assenhole 20 points......that would make clubs control their managers. And thinking about it....i would deduct 20 points from all clubs except Tottenham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Older set an example , perhaps Twenty point's isn't enough , relegate Arsenal that way Spurs would be above them , trouble s they still wouldn't win the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neddy Seagoon Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Tough job being a Ref at all levels. Given the number of games getting called off for lack of officials, I think a strike would not be beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I think Arsene dodged a bullet was surprised on four game ban , I thought he would have had maybe six at least and stadium ban at that , hopefully he will know learn his lesson and move on .
