Players surrounding referees

In recent matches I’ve seen in the premier league every game
there has been a number of players surrounding the referee after
a decision hasn’t gone their way. Do we think that the
FA/premier league are going to do anything about this?

No.
They should but so should the referees, instant booking.

As employees, if they wish to progress, they will do their
employer's bidding who appear not to want proper disciplinary
sanctions because it 'ruins the entertainment' factor. Talking
to a senior referee recently I detected that there is a
willingness on the part of match officials to take a more robust
line but they fear it will hamper their progress. Caught between
a rock and a hard place. Easy to say that the referees should
show independence of mind and act but as in most walks of life,
the chasing of promotion tends to trump everything else.

Similarly in the legal system with sentencing. Of course there
is a proper debate as to whether longer sentencing actually acts
a deterrent by reducing crime ( evidence is far from convincing
) but if a judge breaches sentencing guidelines, even when they
believe there might be compelling case to do so, then they will
soon find themselves in a spot of bother.

For all the tinkering with the LOAF, lots of annoying,
unsporting things could be solved quickly (for the benefit of
fair play and a better spectacle) if they were punished
consistently, without exception (even if that’s initially
numerous YCs, second YCs). It’s done for shirt removal at goals
(even if no one really cares about that) and it’s now just
accepted. Examples, all players who:
- run over to get involved in an incident and escalate it
- run at / surround officials aggressively to protest / appeal
- follow refs to/from the OFR area
- players faffing around at PK trying to put off penalty taker
- wave imaginary cards trying to get other players carded
FA back refs completely - won’t entertain any complaints about
refs who give out cards for these factual things. Everyone
publicly warned in advance that refs have been told to clamp
down. Make sure it doesn’t happen for a weekend then fizzle out
and back to square one. Then up to clubs to self regulate or
lose games - won’t need to be lots of cards if professional
players adjust and simply don’t do these things.
Won’t happen! PL, run by clubs, don’t want that - want the
entertainment and don’t care about the effect it has on
refs/games at lower levels.
