At a cup final game yesterday i witnessed a player being sent off (straight red) for the comment "you're **** ref".
I'm a VERY strict referee on language but for me i would sin bin that. If he's said "you're F****** **** ref" i'd be on orange.
The assistant (whom i've known for over 10 years) was amazed and thought it was overkill. The player did shout this and he was about 10 yards away (player to the refereee).
Your thoughts?
