A lot lately of TV matches, and MOTD too, are showing too much coverage of referees and decisions rather than talking about teams/players own games, and their "mistakes".
This, in my opinion, encourages further complaints on social media and subsequently is bringing this more and more into grassroots games.
In my own game yesterday, a team lost by a hefty margin, yet I overheard the coach tell his players nothing about their performance and, instead, mentioned 3 or 4 things I supposedly done wrong, including sending off one of his players for an off the floor lunge that, if properly connecting to the opponent would have seen an ambulance called (in my opinion).
It's always the referees fault by clubs as it is when they don't win, but surely the media, pundits etc, can stop the micro dissection of referees decisions and start to actually criticise teams instead.
