Here's one that I personally struggle with - I've seen numerous examples either via YouTube or running the line, and now here on Sky Sports (https://www.skysports.com/watch/vid...-isak-foul-listen-to-var-confirm-the-decision) of the way that ref's talk to players.
I appreciate that there's a lot going on and that at PL level stakes are way higher, but at grassroots, it seems to me that ref's can create animosity with players (affecting match control) when they get a bit aggressive. In the clip, Brooks shouts 'GO!' at VVD three or four times, rather remaining calm, which likely aggravated VVDs response, to which he now faces a charge.
Firstly - there's no justification for VVDs language or aggression towards the referee, and I'm not blaming Brooks. It just seems that remaining calm and clear helps you keep your head and not get whipped up with the drama/excitement? I guess I'm just really not a fan of shouting at players. Raising voices, fine. Bit of finger pointing and insisting in very clear language, fine, but surely we shouldn't shout at players?
