Paul Lambert has reported Darren Drysdale to Mike Jones. No
indication about whether he has reported Alan Judge, or any
other players who have behaved similarly in the past, to anyone.

and try to gain a greater understanding of the effects of Covid
and other external factors.

To be honest, I think, generally, footballers and referees are
having a better time of it than most of us.

Totally agree. One of the many criticisms of VAR is that they
analyse footage by slowing it down. Many pundits talk about
fouls looking worse when you look at a still frame rather than
full-speed footage. Exactly the same here. The photo actually
portrays it as being much worse than the video footage which
shows it was only a very brief coming together.

I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. Mr. Lambert has contacted
Mr. Jones and asked him to look at the footage but according to
several reports, no official complaint has been made.

Re the 16 year old, having been sent off for OFFINABUS
complaining about the Prem League player not being sanctioned,
My response was to point out that I hadn't refereed the Prem
League player

absolutely an expectation that players aren't sent off for

for that offence? Is that right, no it isn't, but it would need
intervention starting at the top level to fix it.

I do not condone the actions of Darren and expect him to be
disciplined and reminded of his responsibilities.
However directly to you rustyref, Whilst I believe what you say
I find what you say to be both ridiculous and unsurprising. It’s
no wonder grassroots are under so much pressure when the
professional game is obviously playing to different rules and
interpretations.
How can one justify to a 16 year old kid or a pub team on a
Sunday they should be sent off for OFFINABUS when they say “but
xxx didn’t get sent off in the premiership yesterday?”
Is it any wonder so many referees have quit the game with an
admission like that?
The governing bodies have brought it upon themselves!! The
pathetic pandering and bow down to big clubs, players and
leagues has created this mess instead of getting a grip with a
clear issue.
Clear diving, cheating, confronting referees, referee blaming,
from across the media and the like going unpunished - how long
has it been going on?
In that sense I have every sympathy with Darren.

This brings to mind when I was Registration Secretary for our
local Sunday League and Sir Trevor Brooking was well involved at
the FA and many areas were struggling for referees. I think
that, from memory, this was around 2008 and the 'Respect'
campaign was being mooted at the time. He was asked why the FA
was not starting at the top to get rid of foul and abusive
language because this would filter down to grassroots. He argued
that the respect should start at grassroots level and this would
then filter through to the top, in spite of the interviewer
telling him that the top players should act as role models.
Having heard this, I wrote to the FA and queried why the
campaign could not start by dealing with the role models. Their
answer was that they could not stamp that out because it was
considered 'Industrial Language' and that the field of play was
their work place.
Consequently, we were left with a situation where local referees
were dismissing players for their language, as per the FA
instruction, but there was absolutely nothing done at the top
level.
This showed to me that there was no real desire to sort anything
out at the top level and that officials would continue to be
vilified in one way or another should they try to implement any
real jurisdiction.
Now that the fans are absent, we can hear just how much
industrial language is used and every broadcast is littered with
apologies from commentators in case you heard any bad language!

Dermot Gallagher echoes my earlier comments and thoughts on this
matter, i.e. you have to maintain self control and composure as
a Referee, no matter what provocation may come your way (see
lower down the article).
