Don't you mean wholegame instead of MOAS?You can ask, but I would question the benefit of doing so. As others have said, you have finished your job once you have submitted on MOAS, or attended a hearing if required, and if you find out the player got off or got a lower sanction than you though he should there's nothing you can do about it.

Yes fir sure if you have been abused and threatened why not !!! If it happened in a law court you get the verdict just my personal opinionAs an extension to this debate ... do you think a referee should have a right to know the disciplinary outcome of an incident that involved offensive and threatening behaviour or physical assault towards the referee themselves?
This was discussed at my local RA last year and the strong opinion of most referees was that they should be made aware to sanctions in this type of case. However, the RA committee opposed this view and basically said sanctions were not the referee's concern. I sense that there is a party line in all levels of football administration that disciplinary sanctions should not be public knowledge.Yes fir sure if you have been abused and threatened why not !!!

I think the reason behind it is that most referees being abused think about quiting. Seeing the sanction is the final straw. Hardly ever an abused referee would be happy with the sanction.This was discussed at my local RA last year and the strong opinion of most referees was that they should be made aware to sanctions in this type of case.

I'd echo this. I was assaulted and almost walked away from the game after finding out that the player involved had got away with it (charge not proven and 1 game ban for the dismissal). Even 5 years on I'm still angry about it and on reflection I'd have rather not known.I think the reason behind it is that most referees being abused think about quiting.

That seems like a reason to actually do something about the offenders and sanction them effectively.I think the reason behind it is that most referees being abused think about quiting. Seeing the sanction is the final straw. Hardly ever an abused referee would be happy with the sanction.
Agreed. You just proved the point though. They need us (note: this is not the same as they love us ) and they don't want us to leave. So they don't tell us what the sanctions are. And if as a referee you are enjoying and want to stay, don't go looking for it.That seems like a reason to actually do something about the offenders and sanction them effectively.
It might even have the shocking result of truly cleaning up the game and the culture.
Referees should leave when they are abused by the people they're trying to help, and abandoned by those in power.
