I think we would all agreed that many players get 'away with murder' on the pitch

Dissent against referees is ever present with some very famous serial offenders

If only the FA / FIFA would clamp down the game would be better for all concerned

The RFU has issued an 11 week ban for a player calling a ref 'a cheat' that's 11 weeks roughly the same ban as Joey Bartons!

- Sky Sports -
Dylan Hartley was sent off for allegedly calling Referee Barnes a "cheat" just before half-time in Leicester's 37-17 victory over Northampton in the Aviva Premiership final at Twickenham.

Football should nick their offside rule too. How many times do you see someone given the advantage only to lose it with the next kick of the ball.

Play can continue for some time in ru before the ref decides no advantage has been gained and blows for the original offence.

Wayne Barnes is a terrible referee, not entirely sure he's a cheat but he is a bit pompous and self important, and misses so much of whats going on players do get frustrated with him, as Hartley undoubtedly did on Saturday.
He's always wittering on and is loved by the top brass in rugby - he is however closer to Rob Styles or Trevor Kettle but has the reputation in rugby of Collinna.

Which he isn't.

Otherwise I agree with a lot said here, but the trouble is there arer many many ocontreversial incidents in games which involve barnes and nobody seems to realise he's often the common denominator.
