So if the ref calls it off?
who benefits then?

Ref already has the power to call a game off already
So consult the competition rules then

but heres the problem. The refs obligations and instructions are written down in the rules in black and white (pardon the pun).
but once we enforce the rules, it then goes off into the never never for a bunch of suits to decide.
same with racism, the ref can call it off, but no one has any idea what happens after that.

and fwiw, you are actually dead wrong as far as people bringing their 'beliefs' into football.
its in the rules, the same as offside, the same as handball the same as the whole of the ball being over the whole of the line.

people bringing racism into the game is not some trendy cause. its a ****ing rule.

The refs obl8gations and instructions are not really well written down in black and white for abandoning games based on racist comments from the crowd

It is a very liberal interpretation of a loosely word rule that would give him the ok to do it


The reason it is though an option is from policy of FAs and your suits you refer to and it would be them pushing this angle on referees to do this

Yes it would then go back to them to adjudicate but then is this any different than them fining Bert 5k last year for what were pretty mild comments about refereeing standards in the HAL??

The people making rules decide the punishment etc

It is all open to interpretation and thus becomes a cluster **** from the get go
