Are people really surprised.
Jonathan Moss asked Pogba to stop taking the piss just because he tried Rainbow flick

Send him to referee in the Super league.
We might come to conclusion that grass is always greener in the end but you know it can´t be seriously any worse than this. The efs became too big and noone does anything with the outdated structure.This makes me wonder about who will referee in the Super League ? The likes of Moss?
Wow! just remembered the other fat fecker Phil Dowd, I´d swear for some time they blend into one person with Moss in my mind. Similarly I had issues with Dean and Atkinson...
He'll refuse on moral grounds
What are you on about, Jon Moss is the biggest ref in the league.
Oh feck off.
What about when he told Bruno to calm down instead of talking to Burnley captain to calm his players down.

Get Jonathan Ross instead.
Would love to see us lodge a complaint, but the super league stuff is going to mean this gets totally ignored. It's a joke that a ref is deciding your allowed to foul a player because he didn't like what he was trying to do before that.
Moss is incompetent
Rashford megged Lowton ahead of the first goal then sent tarkowsky to the shop 15mins later
2 bookable offences right there he should've been off

I kinda get what Moss was saying, that is, you are going to antagonize and get exactly what just happened happen.
What angers me most though is the linesman, he didn't even flag, that was a clear yellow and left it to Moss to give it, otherwise was happy to have Burnley play on.

It's so ridiculous, football is supposed to be entertaining and players like Okocha, Neymar, Ronaldinho, etc. are the fun side of football. These skills make fans go "oooh", there is no excuse for a player retaliating with a foul or trying to hurt a player - that is what should be condemned! If anything, doing a rainbow flick is a creative way to get out of that situation, what is he supposed to do just run out of play or try and barrel through people?
Wasn't the rainbow flick attempt a different action? This one was next to the corner when he was holding off a player and the Burnley player just rammed into him.
"Oooh, look at me. Rainbow flicks aren't hard"
3 hours practicing after PE in 1998 with nowt to show for it says otherwise, mr fancy pants.
Heavier balls in 1998. Piece of piss with these fancy new footballs. You’ve been living a lie, De Selby.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but did anyone notice when he allowed Bruno to be clattered off the pitch, and then brought down 30 seconds later, and when Bruno tried to say something Moss just had a sheepish smile and tried to laugh it off. What a joke of a referee.
Also yeah this is what happened to Neymar in France and it was a disgrace then too. Can't be "too good" now

The backwards logic of it is that showboating is somehow provoking the opposition, but to what end? If the opposition reacts to showboating by being aggressive and violent then that's on the opposition player for their lack of restraint, not Pogba or Neymar's momentary creativity.
Funny that you can't speak a thing to a referee in-game or post-game without there being fines or bans are repercussions, but referees have impunity from all manner of words and deeds that would otherwise certainly find a player in hot water.
Does that mean that Rashford should have gotten a verbal warning and/or yellow card for his elastico-flip flap vs Burnley, then?

It wasn't for that, he tried a rainbow flick off a throw in about 10 seconds earlier.
Still mad for the ref to tell him what to do though, there's nothing in the rules that says you can't use skills/tricks.
Moss isn't a dad looking after kids. He's there to ensure the rules of the game are followed.
Nothing stipulates a player can't spend the entire game rainbow flicking it over opponent's heads. The referee should impartially enforce the rules of the game and nothing else. What Moss did shows favoritism.
Thats the end of Moss surely. Pogba was lucky not to get hurt to be honest
I agree Moss is an embarrassment but I'm sure he's saying don't take the piss in relation to Pogba staying down and buying time rather than trying a trick.
Bless your cottons.
And people talk down on Rooney.
Superb to stick up for our key man after an absolutely shocking tackle that could have snapped Ronaldo in half.
Does that clip have sound picking up Moss saying don't take the piss?
Can't see it on this browser, and can't hear it on my phone?!

We will only get the best referees in the Super League, with super salaries and 2 VAR rooms that will submit a vote with the referee if there is a difficult decision.
Yes it does have sound of Moss saying exactly that and Pogba asking how is he taking the piss.
I guess this so called best referees have been waiting all their lives because they are certainly not working neither in the CL not the PL
The founder member teams chairmen need to have a veto of the VAR decisions as well.
Can you imagine the future polls on SKY asking which referees are better? UEFA or Super League?And there is also a Fans vote at the same time. Send SMS to vote for "Foul" or " No Foul " .
Still don't know what "taking the piss" even refers to.
Very familiar with this attitude that you shouldn't be showboating or even just holding up the ball for too long, because then you're just inviting righteous retribution. My father reminds me of this every time we get to watch a game together. Same category of opinion as "game is gone"; "what's he trying to prove with that haircut?"; "can't believe they allow them to wear different colored boots nowdays" and other archaic prejudices.
No turn up for the books if any ref turns out to have some ridiculous opinion of that sort, but I'm not even sure that's what it is and you can't tell from that clip.

Pogba was well within his right to give him a bitch slap there.
The fat knuts meant to be impartial.

Your calls will cost £5 plus your standard network rate.
Joke of an official.
He needs to stop taking the piss with his shit refereeing. Clearly can't keep up with the game. Joke of a ref!
Moss is a disgusting fat bastard. 
Love me a bit of Wazza. That tackle was shocking, it's a rare sight these days but around that era and before you'd see it almost every other game. Mental how time flies.
He waddles up to a gifted player who has just been hacked and berates him with "Don't take the piss". How classy is that?
Always made me laugh that Andy gray was more interested in slagging Rooney off for defending his mate, rather than the dickhead who tried to snap Ronaldo.
