The head of the judges’ union in England, Martin Cassidy, has taken a tough new initiative.
Football referees in England are tired of constant criticism. Now the football authorities are demanding tougher penalties for clubs that question it or the judges’ decision.
The head of the judges’ union in England, Martin Cassidy, is demanding that violators be punished by deducting points in the standings. Only tough measures, in his opinion, will silence all dissenters.
Note that such an angry reaction from Cassidy was caused by Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp’s actions against Tottenham Hotspur.
“If the FA don’t start combating this kind of behavior by taking away points, that will never change. Handing Liverpool a £30,000 fine is nonsense. Start taking away points score and they should shut their mouths and act accordingly.
We are confident that this is one of the right decisions for football that will affect all levels from the lower divisions to the Premier League. The ban on leaving the technical zone has been in place for decades, but the worse it gets, the worse it gets,” Cassidy said in an interview with Express Sport.
Note that Liverpool won that match at Tottenham with a score of 4:3. At the same time, Klopp’s wards scored the winning goal in the 4th minute which was added by the referee.
The head coach himself celebrated this goal of Diogo Jota very violently. He ran to the reserve referee and started shouting at him, whereupon he received a yellow card.
