Maybe we have got a major discipline problem with too much back chat to refs. Coley admits he has told the players that only the captain should be speaking to the referee and assistant referee's. But I saw at least 6 occassions in this game where....Hughes, McConville, Nottingham and Smyth were gobbing off at the referee during the game......all players upset with decisions I'm sure...but they couldn't keep quiet. We all know referee's very rarely change their minds once a decision has been made....so why continue...Maybe we have got a poor reputation in refereeing circles......they no doubt all talk amongst themselves.....?
