Again Zim, I don't think they're allowed to. The best they can do is put Mike Riley or someone on SSN and say the acting official is personally dissapointed with the decisions made. This isn't a reap what you sow situation, this is about personal accusations not professional/match mistakes.

Their matchday mistakes are propagated by FIFA lagging 80 years behind the modern world; that's why refereeing is in such a bad state.

Sounds like something from the playgroud.

He did it to me 1st so i'll do it to him.

Not really, can't stand refs and they're holier than thou attitude, doesn't hurt for them to get some of their own medicine, maybe they'll learn something from it.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Agreed, but you reap what you sow, it might not be the refs but I don't ever see any apologies at any stage from them either...they just insist they were right rather than put their hands up. Maybe there's something to learn from this.

Don't you think there is just a teeny weeny bit of a difference between a dodgy offside call and accusing an innocent individual of committing a criminal act in the form a racist slur?

[Özim]

So thats down to the fa.

They accused the ref of being a racist. Might as well have called him a peado its ok cause he got away with stuff in the match.

I think there's a big difference with saying someone used a racist word and someone being a racist to be honest (though I don't excuse it in any way). People say John Terri is a racist and yet Ashley Cole is his teammate and defended him, surely if he was a racist he'd hate him?

and potentially ruining his career as well.

Yes, calling the ref racist is the same as getting a decison wrong on the pitch.

Like i said they should accuse the ref of touching their kids end of the day they reap what they sow.

Wow just wow.

That's what I mean though, a ref can surely speak out in the papers for example and say they acknowledge their error when it's blatantly obvious?

The FA don't have a clue we know that, but the refs also do hide behind them rather than standing up and gaining respect by acknowledging they make mistakes.

[Özim]

Wow just wow.

What? Ashley Cole came out and defended him...he was clearly guilty of using racist language against someone (and like I said that's totally wrong), however a racist dislikes someone based on skin colour and I don't see why Ashley Cole would come out and defend him if he thought he was racist.

They could but not with impunity. Just like at any kind of work I imagine most have to reign in what they truly think of those above and do what they ask.
