i seen it last year when i was following the broncos, a dude laid a hand on an official and he was off, you callin me a liar?
The rule is:
15 Yards and Automatic Disqualification
Using a helmet (not worn) as a weapon.
Striking or purposely shoving a game official.

Come on Darv, you've never thrown a bag of piss or blood or even a "D" size battery at a player or ref on the ice?
I thought you were a TRUE FAN.

I would rather not have the game brought to a halt every time a player appeals in a football match because that would slow the game down and make it as boring as... (you can't handle the truth)

was this not what i stated, perhaps i was not explicit enough, here laying a hand on someone has the connotation of ill intent, as in pushing, shoving, slapping etc etc perhaps i was mistaken, but the dude went to the locker room and it presumed it was for hitting an official. In fact it was shown in the replay, which i did not imagine.

There is a great one from Boston where the fan was minding his own business, missed the catch and for some reason a guy about 4 seats back threw his pizza at him. No one could figure out why.
Jerry Remmy, the guy who calls the games on NESN spent 3 minutes reviewing the film, slow motion... rewind... and doing color analysis on the whole thing. You can find it on youtube with the right search words when you've got access.
It's pretty funny... the poor guy missed the ball, and next he's got pizza sauce on his shoulder. He may have also spilled his beer.
Perhaps THAT is what pissed the fan off so much.

Are you allowed to push, slap or shove an official in FIFA rules?
Originally posted by PhlabibitThat is one of my favourite clips as well. I love how the guy analyzes the situation but is nearly peeing from laughter at the same time.

Originally posted by darvlayok ok, i said touch, but what i meant was to shove, anyhow, i dont think you can harass and badger the referee like people do in soccer, as for the rules, who cares, we have the referee and the human element which takes care of any rules. 🙂

Hops tells THE TRUTH. Accountability is a whole world away from demands for groveling after every refereeing mistake.
Football refereeing is fine. It's funny how it's almost always the non-fans asking for changes...
It's also funny how you think us NONFANS want refs to grovel as you put it.
Football refereeing is fine, but it's not good by any stretch of the imagination.

And you have to be a pretty ignorant fan if you think FIFA ignores past refereeing mistakes when nominating referees so, again, accountability is different from demands for public apologies, regardless whether they'll be hypocritical or not.
