Football / Premier League announce new directive to target Manu/Chelsea Players
« on: August 11, 2011, 12:48:45 PM »
Premier League referees will be protected next season thanks to a new 'get on with the game' directive.
The campaign launched ahead of the new season will aim to cut down on dissent shown towards officials by MANU/CHELSEA players and managers.
Speaking at the launch of the new Premier League season, chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "We've gone to the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) and asked them what will help them.
"We came up with a reduction in disrespectful behaviour, turning backs on referees and we don't want MANU/CHELSEA players surrounding referees, as well as the conduct of MANU/CHELSEA managers.
"In post-match interviews we don't want to stamp out constructive criticism, but it's more about the colour and the disrespectful language USUALLY LEAD BY WAYNE ROONEY/SIR ALEX"
Scudamore is confident that the scheme will be a success as it was developed with Premier League players themselves.
"My confidence is born out of discussions ON FAVORS PER GAME we had over summer," he continued.
"It's the first time we've met with all the players together. We met with [Professional Footballers' Association chief executive] Gordon Taylor, representatives of players from all the clubs. That was very positive.
"They to a man said the relationship between the referees and players had improved since the 2008 launch, they were keen to make sure we didn't throw all those things out. The players themselves understand AS LONG AS THE OFFICALS DID WHAT THEY TOLD THEM TO DO.
Of course we're all waiting on the first incident - there's always going to be incidents," he added. "We're looking to reduce the incidents, but we won't eliminate them WE WILL JUST IGNORE THEM."
West Brom manager Roy Hodgson was also at the launch event and gave the scheme his approval.
"Referees are an integral part of our game and some times we are less kind to them than we should be WHEN MANU OR CHELSEA NEED THE HELP," he said.
"We all make mistakes, managers, players and referees, EXCEPT MANU/CHELSEA.
