Open Age A team of moaners...

Lots of good points on here about the stepped approach and man management - all worth learning! Just to add that it's amazing what the first card for dissent will do for control - players will know you're serious and that you will be taking thier money if they keep it up. I continue to be amazed at the absolute silence that often follows that first caution.

Never done any stats but i'd guess that 30% of my cards were for lip towards the end, I was at the sharp end of life unfortunates so it was par for the course I guess.
It did fall though over the years from very high, maybe 80% down to the 30%. The clever ones saw me and knew what i didn't accept, the not so clever ones learned very quickly...
 
Just out interest has anyone ever had the comment along the lines of 'I don't think the ref likes us' how did or how would you take it? (Questioning integrity/ignore/dissent?)
 
Ignore that one I guess, you aren't there to 'Like' teams, you're there to ensure that a safe game takes place to the LOTG...
Geez, if your card radar is twitched by that you are in the wrong hobby!!!
 
Also not there to favour one team over the other which is basically what is being implied. Think it's a calculated dig as well but probably correctly calculated as right side of the 'line'
