I know in Nelson this season that no Fourth Officials are appointed to any MPL games so coaches can rant and rave to their hearts content providing it is out of the hearing of the referee and AR
He (Braithwaite) has certainly not changed.Two years ago in Nelson he called the Ar a f*****g cheat. The AR happened to be a local policeman. Braithwaite was ordered from the Technical Area and proceeded to abuse the officials from the embankment. The irony was the game was abandoned so he was able to take his position in the Technical Area the next day. No action was taken against him by Mainland as the game had been abandoned therefore the referees report did not count.
