It can't be that difficult to do, can it? Extra ten yards for
first backchat, yellow for second, red for third. Wouldn't take
too long for that to sink in, even for some of the less
intellectually gifted amongst them.
I think the problem is at all levels in the game though - from
managers of Premiership clubs to parents at the touchline, it
seems that the football ref is fair game for anyone to have a
pop at. Until and unless the governing bodies give the ref the
authority and ammunition to deal with this, it won't change.

I always avoided refereeing my kids footy games because,
frankly, I'd have ended up in prison for responding to all the
rubbish that goes on.

I'm not sure that the 10 yards thing would work in soccer. It
is more about possession than territory. Quite often, the ball
is kicked backwards from a free kick anyway. Also, it brings
complexity if the backchat is near the goal - would the free
kick get upgraded to a penalty?
I like the idea of just yellow carding a few players. It
wouldn't take long for the message to get around. But, it needs
to start in non-international games first. Another approach
would be to hand a 2 minute time-out (i.e. sin-binning) and
apply it to all players that are involved. You might get some
amusing scenarios where there are only a few players on the
pitch.
One thing that they should have though is a citing process after
the game. I.e. record all conversation and give people a ban if
the discussion merits it. Also, this would stop players trying
to head-butt each other when the ref is looking the other way.

I can't believe the people that came up with the offside rule
can't find a solution to this! :)

They did use the 10 yards (metres?) rule in football a few years
ago and it worked reasonably well when used. Unfortunately it
was often ignored by refs much like a straight put-in is in
rugby nowadays.

I also think that any player who doesn't get up after a tackle
should leave the field to be treated and not be allowed back
until the next dead ball. Also a standard ten minutes for an HIA
assessment for holding their head.
It won't happen but might sort out the acting.
I don't know why the yellow card issuing for players
getting in the refs face isn't done. Everybody agrees that it
would bring the power back to the ref but FIFA etc won't enforce
it. The rugby system is constantly referred to as THE way to go.
