:And what exactly do think the other refs will suffer’
If you mean why or how, quite simply the mistrust from players and fans will only deepen causing even more referee hassle and disruption to the game, from the Premier league right down to grass roots, where they can get dogs abuse. No one’s naive enough to think bias doesn’t come in to it but when you’ve got a Premier league ref on camera calling a manager a c*** and showing bias towards one particular club, the accusations of bias during and after games will probably increase. Added to that, him as md his pal on camera look like they’re on class A drugs. They may well just be high on life of course but it’s not a good look for any professional, bar Keith Richards
