Are referees goldfish?

They had this new edict at the start of the season regarding dissent and waving imaginary cards and stuck by it, more or less. Then they forgot about it and have to be reminded about it again?

Look I know punching down at referees is popular. And I think we can all agree they’ve been extra shit this year. But if you’ve ever been a manager or managed a team of people, you’d not be surprised at this one bit. It’s something you’d hope a leader of a team would do; remind the team of their goals as we all can get distracted, not remain as focused as we’d like, and none of us are perfect.
