The Straight Shootin' View Episode 73 - Grass Roots Referees NEED protection

Should physically assaulting a Referee (or any match official) carry an automatic lifetime ban? How important is it for the FA to properly support referees & officials?

In this episode of the Straight Shootin' View, SSLJA discusses the issue of referees at grass roots level being attacked and assaulted and looks at what more football needs to do, especially the FA as guardians of the game, to protect referees whilst doing their job.

SSLJA talks about lifetime bans for those who assault referees and the powers that be in football need to give more support to referees, in light of facts and figures from charity Ref Support UK that detail the scale of the problem of referees being assaulted, for example London Official Satyam Toki back in 2020, who still suffers effects a year later from being the victim of an assault.
