Re: Cards
Having thought about it, it can only mean that no-one is allowed to touch, in any way at all, any match official, at any time.
Probably as relevant to the managers, coaches and substitutes on the side line, as putting a hand on the fourth official's arm to catch his/her attention to something will be an offence.
I think it would help if the FA and EFL explained that one rule in a bit more detail. Just what type of "non-aggressive physical contact" with officials is it trying to stop?
Having spent decades telling ref's to be 'friends' to players, joining in their banter and having a laugh (with dubious results as regards some players' behaviour and attitude) the FA are now implying you could be yellow carded for patting the ref on the back for having a good game (a rare event in League 2, admittedly).
