With social media these days, it's all too easy to abuse people in a horrible way. Some will take it in their stride and others won't be able to.

Booing a referee and calling him a wanker in the ground is always going to happen and referees expect this but threatening someone's life and their families is beyond ridiculous, absolutely disgusting.

its not only that this country has turned criticizing referees decisions into an form even if they have a good game we will find something to complain about.

the pressures involved knowing if you get it wrong or miss something the press and the country will tear into you is a pressure you shouldnt have to deal with and will result in poor health
