I found dissent and spectator behaviour worse last season, for whatever reason.

I don't expect change tbh. Ref will always make some mistakes (as do players), and VAR has now made refs, and pundits slagging them off, part of "the show".

Parents, and parent coaches are the worst tbh, other than at the nix/ole academy levels.

It will take generations for attitudes to shift, if they ever do. Referee abuse in football is ingrained throughout, from the Champions League to Cap 10. Kids watch their idols surround the ref giving him all sorts of abuse every week, and follow suit, because when you are 8 years old you think everything your footballing idol does is right.

We will be lucky if any of us on here live to see it change if I’m being honest.
