Totally agree with you. When are people going to get it into their heads that its not ok for clowns like Mookshaw to shout abuse at referees and get away with it.
Refs are human beings with human feelings and hear everything that gets shouted.
While they will never admit it, they are going to struggle to give a 50-50 decision to a sideline thats been barking shite at them.
To make it perfectly clear, I was not at the New Farm game and cant comment on how good or bad the ref was, or exactly what was shouted from the touchline, and I have a lot of time for their committee , but maybe its a wake up call to folk who believe they can dish it out without getting it back in kind.
Referees do not leave the house on a Saturday thinking, "How can I spoil this game this afternoon". They happen to do it for the love of the game. FFS, some of them leave the house to ESCAPE abuse on a Saturday.
