Apart from that incident involving di Canio when did you last see a British official struck?
Former Iron David Prutton shoved over a lino when playing for Southampton.
It happens quite a bit at amateur levels, fortunately we’ve yet to see it at professional & semi-pro levels. The entitlement of fans, particularly at the higher levels, about refereeing decisions is completely ludicrous. Everyone things refs are against them, everyone thinks there’s a conspiracy, everyone thinks that they are justified in haranguing referees. You see/hear it less at our level but it’s still there.
