Does this matter much? I mean the grassroot level refs are gonna get abuse and threats from crazy parents and others nevertheless. I don't think they will be deterred because a PL ref was protected by the FA.
Aleksandar Mitrović | Fulham ruin his life

It doesn't matter.
You could sentence Mitrovic to death and it wouldn't change much at grassroots.
There's no need to go extra punitive to teach grassroot parents a lesson here.
I really think they’re going to make an example out of him.
Ridiculous from the FA. The man is a total g and these clowns are once again proving they can't ball.
This should be included in any response regarding Fernandes.And Fabinho shoved the ref in the same game. So what? Nothing happened.
It isn't parents who need the lesson, it's impressible kids, they copy what their heroes do and if this isn't harshley punished they'll copy the behaviour
Is there a better angle? Because it really looks like absolutely nothing. I’d love the point to it as some kind of inconsistency but I’m just not seeing it.
I am not comparing this with Mitrovic thing, but Bruno thing which is a point of discussion in the media. Compared to that, this has more. There was no reason to touch the ref in this scenario.
He should be banned for 10 years. And you can quote me on that.
I hope he gets a 10 game ban, the utter goon. You don't put your hands on people, regardless.
The more years go by, the 8 game ban Suarez got for racially abusing a fellow player looks tamer and tamer.
It was always pretty tame. If the commitee had determined racist intent, then it should have been a longer ban. If they couldn't determine racist intent, then it shoud have been smaller ban for using wrong words.
It absolutely does matter. From someone who’s been coaching and reffing youth football for a long time, it needs to be shown to be unacceptable. Trust me, ref 3 games and you’d agree
This
My point still stands. There's no evidence that banning this will prevent kids from copying what they see (if in fact they do so)
Refs deserve the abuse. English refs wouldn’t last in Africa. They are so so bad. They should not ban him and instead reform the whole reffing industry.
1. Bring in foreign refs
2. Mic them up
3. Interviews after the game about big calls
The reffing this season has been atrocious.
Making the refs untouchable by giving a lengthy ban is a joke. He didn’t punch the ref. A minor shove.

It would be great if you could check back in with us a year from now and report on whether kids are more behaved because of the smackdown about to be laid on Mitrovic
That could have been called a pen and we wouldn't have been able to complain.pathetic.
My point was how does it matter. Will the hooligans at grassroot level change their ways by looking at PL decisions?
Satire right?
Nice one. It’s a straightforward concept to grasp, no punishment sets a bad precedent
Mitrovic makes contact with the ball despite the shove. Shaw got lucky there.It’s a 2 handed shove
People here would be livid if it was reversed
Lineman pushed Bruno first. Not to defend him here but no one took it personality and FA did review this.
What Mitrovic did is way worse. He didnt just push ref, dude was 1 provoke away from body check him.
Possibly, and that’s enough. The game is bleeding refs at the lower level. Taking a soft stance on pros behaving like that isn’t an option
Next season they need to implement zero-tolerance rules for this stuff regardless of how bad you think the refs are. It's bush league refs are allowed to be bullied and crowded around the way they are. In the NBA, if you try to intimidate a ref it's an automatic ejection.
Very lucky. There was no reason for him to do that. Could have easily been a red.
He helped us to the FA Cup semi final, I actually think he’s a good guy and doesn’t deserve any severe punishment.
I know what he did was not good but can’t help but think he’s getting singled seen similar done to officials.
If we win the cup treble give him a statue outside OT
So you acknowledge that not every situation where someone has put his hand on an official is comparable then? Good.
So why are people still wittering on about Bruno?
Probably not , but what is clear the media went full neutral on it today and in every breath Bruno was brought into the conversation especially by the one and only Danny Murphy happily proclaiming to hate United in the same breath. So Bruno, in the aftermath of whatever happens to Mitrovic, needs to knuckle down and stay below the radar. Play football and keep his mouth shut for his own good.
Isn’t there a rule that states that only captains are allowed to talk to the ref? I would enforce it by giving yellow cards for every such offense. If an incident is missed during the match, it should be given retrospectively after each matchday. They will learn latest on matchday six, when 50% of the players are missing due to the fifth yellow card.
Fulham fans embarrassing themselves on social media. Hope the cockney twats are enjoying their 5 minutes of fame.
Anyone referencing Bruno at this point is just wumming/dislikes united/trolls. To compare the two situations is literally laughable. Bruno gets pulled back by the linesman and he responds in a ‘get off me’ way. Mitrovic forcibly gets in the refs face, shoves him and continues to go at him whilst having to be pulled back by teammates.
Oh yeh totes the same. Absolute nonsense.
Oh yeh totes the same. Absolute nonsense.
Fulham 7 penalties this season
United 2 penalties this season.
Those donkeys will not include this stat in their hypothetical stupid conspiracy.
So when are the FA gona charge Fulham for failure to control their player and manager?
Didn't they charge United for failure to control their players against Palace when a Casemiro put hands on a Palace players neck?
Wheres the consistency?

Mitrovic looked like he was about to deck the referee if Willian didn't step in.
Agreed that the standards of refereeing this season has been utter dog shite.
Theres no consistency at all.
Of course kids try to copy what their heroes do, go to any school in the Manchester area and you'll see kids copying Rashford's finger to the head, when I was a kid us reds copied Dennis Law's goal celebration, some copied Franny Lee's penalty winning technique, later on I saw a kid copy John McEnroe's "you cannot be serious"
They have charged them
Good. I was sure that guy was going to clock the referee when he shoved him and got all up in his face. Gotta thank Willian for stepping in.
It’s pathetic. Absolute smoothbrains.
