Sorry if already posted, but only team captains will be allowed to approach referees to discuss decisions. Any other players approaching a ref will be booked.

Agree with Transgender on this one.Originally Posted by Grangenders
Goalkeepers will be able to nominate an outfield player.
Cracking idea !
So what happens when 5 players start running towards the Ref - when does he get his card out for all of them ? - how far do the players have to be from the ref ? - 1,2,3,4 meters ? - how will the distance be measured ?
What if the players ask a question - but from a distance ? - is that classes as approaching ?
Do you see what I'm getting at ? - I think it will be hard to uphold this rule and is easily open to dispute... we'll just have to see how it goes - I predict very badly
A very firm referee with lots of yellows in the first game it could work, if not it could be chaos.
Great idea I think. There are some things rugby does better than football, and this is one of them
What if the ref approaches players? Does the ref have to stand still after making a decision....or move into a space on the pitch to allow captain(s) to approach? Fiddly.
If that was an auto correct I’m concerned about your browsing history.
If not then bravo well played
.....and that after most incidents the referee is running away from him.
Is that name change intended abuse or a very unfortunate autocorrection 🤭
Either way it's funny.😜
Good idea.
Brilliant idea, completely unenforceable I fear as mentioned above. And woe betide the first ref who ends up having to send somebody off because of a yellow given earlier for one of these decisions, the pundits who are always banging on about respect will be queuing up to crucify them for ruining a game.
Seems that laws that work very well in other sports are always difficult to implement in football. VAR works fine in other sports but complete ****fest in football. The idea that no one approaches the ref has worked fine in rugby for 100 years or more, yet you think it'll go badly in football. Think that sums up football.
The initiative to add extra time equivalent to the time actually lost lasted about 10 games I think. They haven't got the bottle to follow things through.
So true PSG v Barcelona was a great example of this. Pundits kept blaming the ref who had called all the big decisions perfectly
