Firstly, journalists, managers, pundits, players and supporters should respect the referee's decisions more. How can we expect a new breed of referees to be introduced if they are constantly berated? They are an honest bunch who will occasionally be found, retrospectively, to have made a mistake.
It would be interesting to test all football lovers' knowledge of the laws of the game.
