I think that’s a good idea. Think too many comparisons are made with rugby sometimes but the abuse soccer players get away with is ridiculous.

Be interesting to see how it goes alright but not talking to them at all might be a bit far. I’ve played in games at junior level in ireland with refs who strictly enforce no foul language or abuse and after a couple of early yellow cards fellas quickly cop on, and these are in games where the greatest scumbags known to man can be plying their trade. Even an ‘ah for fucks sake, ref’ would get a yellow. Fierce annoying but makes for a handier 90 minutes for the ref.

But in rugby all 15 players tend to follow the ball around like mongs.

Great thread. Needed a bump. Here’s something I came across recently.

Stanislav Petrov is a retired lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defence Forces. On September 26, 1983, he was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system when the system reported a missile being launched from theUnited States. Petrov judged that the report was a false alarm. This decision is credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on theUnited Statesand its NATO allies, which could have resulted in large-scale nuclear war. Investigation later confirmed that the satellite warning system had malfunctioned.
