Would love to know what was said
Crazy that it hasn’t happened in so long, especially with what you can lipread and know is being said. If referees were much stricter on dissent at the top level it would have a huge benefit at all levels of the game. It would be tough for a few weeks with probably a lot of red cards, but teams and players would soon adapt.
Tried that in the 2018 World cup with “grappling” in the penalty area. Couple of games with 2-3 penalties each and…no more rule. Football has no appetite for multiple drastic punishments, even short term. Football is a stupid, capitalist behemoth.
There was an instance in 2016 where Vardy swore at the ref after getting a second yellow for a dive - got his suspension extended by a game. So not strictly the same straight red as in Dunk’s case, but a very similar case of abusing a ref leading to a suspension.
Didn’t Webb literally just say this should happen more? Not reds, but punishments for going after the referee? Maybe this referee listened.
Didn’t they change the rules for this season? There’s been loads of yellows for talking back at refs. I double checked they did.

Tbf the FA have tried this on the managers and everyone here got fucking LIVID lmao
Wait it was a straight red? Was it given by VAR then? Taylor definitely held up a yellow first
But so braindead by Dunk wtf are you doing dude
Once you get the yellow it’s time to shut up and move on. I was glad to see it happen and hope we see it happen to more players.
Anthony Taylor deserves every bit of abuse he gets.
He and Michael Oliver are the two best professional officials in the country.
Oh just fuck off. He’s a professional trying to do a very hard job, where no matter what he does he’s gonna cop a load of abuse from whatever group of fans/players his decisions go against.
People like you moan that refs are shit, yet are happy to abuse them, without realising that the ridiculous level of abuse directed at refs is a huge reason why refs aren’t better.
I don’t know man. I too think that Anthony Taylor is a fucking bellend
A red for you then!
I too hate Anthony Taylor though.
NBC stated during the game that he was charged with verbal abuse and would miss two games., instead of just one. Was only listening as I was driving so I don’t have more information
I swear it was 2 yellows
No one posted it here yesterday for some reason
Only “top 6” clubs get any attention here
Imagine that, the clubs with more supporters get more upvotes on posts pertaining to them. The injustice!
What a profound comment
Taking the piss for my comment after what you commented. Hilarious.
Who cares 🤷🏽♂️
Brighton highlights never make it in here 😭
Bruno Fernandes does this almost every game for almost every foul, and yet nothing gets done.
I think we need transcripts of what a player says to officials to warrant a red or yellow card. It’ll be the only way players alter how they speak to refs as they will be concerned about their image and brand.
have you seen f1? expletives definitely does not alter image and brand. in fact, the people love it, because you know, much more relatable!
I think it would in relation to dealing with officials. All the F1 expletives are between team members rather than to officials.
I’ve got no problem with players swearing at each other at all because like you said its more relatable and its real life.
Using F1 as an example if Toto started swearing at the race director after THE final race last season with the horrendous decision with the safety car I feel like he would be in trouble.
Mourinho was right.
Wait do you mean first straight red in 12 years or first red card for referee abuse in 12 years?
games gone
But to be fair, Taylor is a fucking bellend. The defence rests, m’lud.
Anthony Taylor, who would have guessed
I think every supporter from every club can agree, Anthony Taylor is a fucking bellend.
anthony taylor the gift that keeps giving
Next up Rdz- Officials are fucking bellend!!
