But make him a club legend.

I don't get why everyone finds this funny lol 

I don't find it funny, I respect his response to atrocious officiating in which he was unfairly targetted.

Atrocious officiating or not, that's not the way to respond.

Well he just acted the way we were all thinking

And for that he has my respect.

Ah well, don’t complain when you cop the punishment then.

I won't.

A lot of people would disagree with you.

Where's That Referee - Cody Rhodes (Sound Effect) - YouTube

Just shows your redneck mentality.

The first question is does the ref has the remit to tell him to sit down. IFAB interpret the LOTG as one person can be standing. He was the only one standing in the Mariners technical area. At the same time Talay and his assistant were both constantly standing and consistently outside their technical area.

So was it in his remit - not according to IFAB. Did he apply his own interpretation consistently - no. Will I lose sleep over it - no. 

Just saw this incident

Salute was to someone in the opposition dugout, not the camera

And he got the 2nd Yellow for taking the piss out of the ref by refusing to sit down despite very clear and explicit instruction

But did the ref have the remit to ask him to sit down in the first place. IFAB deems that he doesn't.

I see Jackson and 1 other already standing

First booking looks like it was something he said, 2nd for taking the piss.

Fair enough - my memory was different - I know at one stage Jackson was sitting around the time of the incident (he was already on a yellow)

Generally, we won't book anyone the first instance of "multiple people conveying instructions"

He would have said something that Faghani would have taken as dissent, as he is well within his rights to take it that way. If that booking came with instructions to sit down (As per the 'one person' rule, then he poked his own bear.

One thing referees generally don't like, especially those that I can see being deemed as power-hungry in threads like this, is people undermining their authority on the field. That's how games get out of hand. 

Faghani can control his own actions. So can Schofield.

who cares overall, second yellow is for back chatting to the ref plain and simple no ?
Therefore he asked for it, get off.

You're right, it's not in IFAB but how many standing in the technical area is down to the competition rules Generally one is the accepted number.

So in the A League, if it's one, the ref can tell anyone to sit down if there's more than one standing.

Every couple of matches I'll have to tell the bench to sit down. (Usually pre match I'm telling the coaches only one standing, subs can only be standing if they're warming up and then not in the box.)

Yeah I just watched that. He pretended to sit down and then stood back up after Faghani told him multiple times to sit down.

Sucked in.

Players do this too when you say turn around so I can take your number and then they tell you their number rather than spin around so you can see it.

Then you have to ask them again and possibly again. I'm looking forward to the day I book a bloke a second time because he won't turn around despite being asked multiple times. (I've come so close a couple of times.)

My issue is with the consistency, zrilic was up at the same time as Ufuk for most of the game, if your going to officiate these petty rules then it has to be done consistently.

This was anything but consistent.

Faghani is a joke.

Guarantee you Faghani only cared because he said something to him.
That's the only time I've ever, ever seen it enforced - when multiple people have gotten up to remonstrate with the referee.

Whilst everyone is behaving themselves, I'm sure he's got other priorities 

But when you start being a wanker, IFAB helps you out

• people in the technical area must behave responsibly. If they do not, they may be shown a red or yellow card
