Confirmed Hecky Banned 3 Games

Confirmed Hecky Banned 3 Games

The biggest worry is what happens if he’s censured again? Stadium ban?

I agree with much of what has been said about the quality of officials and how he must have been feeling aggrieved but there are times in life (especially at work) when we have to bite our tongues. This doesn’t seem to have been a heat of the moment thing so he really should have held back.
I think it should be stadium bans instead of touchline bans if they want to actually enforce something to try and cut out that kind of behaviour.

But I can't say I would've done much different in his shoes if the official has fibbed about what happened the first time. So I can't really criticise PH for that.
 
I watch a lot of women’s games and, yes it does happen, it’s rare there are any really poor decisions.

It also has to be said that the players are a lot more honest and don’t simulate in the penalty box like in the men’s game.

Players and, it has to be said, managers, bear a lot of responsibility for what looks like poor decisions from refs

I've known quite a few women simulate in the penalty box but maybe that was more to do with my performance

I would love a team (preferably Preston) to have a Brian Clough type manager who says we don’t dive, we don’t roll around faking injury, we don’t time waste and we don’t surround the referee berating him/her. Players who do that are not welcome.
It would even better if such a team had some success with that philosophy.
It would be so refreshing to watch and would be everyone football fan’s “second team”.
 
The ref at Watford this time was the 4th official there last season. Not only did he back up that ref's claim about PH punching the wall in the tunnel, but also gave a report about what happened as the teams returned for the 2nd half. PH said that he (the 4th official) was someone he had respected before, but that he had lied in his evidence about what was said when PH was making his way from pitchside to the stand.

It was ridiculous that PGMOL assigned him to referee this Watford game, as it was bound to wind PH up.
 
His behaviour should absolutely not be applauded. He sounds like a petulant little nobhead and it's not a good look for anyone involved.
Says the guy in Florida (or wherever you've moved to) who is almost usually anti anything PNE that is posted on here.

Bluntly put - you are one negative person.
 
I think you've got the wrong person there old bean.


That said it's not anti-PNE to criticise the manager's actions. Just send McCall to do it in the future, and if he gets penalised it will be much easier to defend him.
 
If we read that same story about another manager we'd all be saying what a wanker he was.
Mourinho used to do it all the time.
Alex Ferguson used to do it all the time.
I don’t like all these managers who Are yes men and feel they have to ‘follow the rules.’ The rules that the corrupt FA set themselves. If someone had lied about me I would be fuming as well.
 
I'm with Hecky on this. Someone i work with has taken issue with me because I corrected their work and as a result they've accused me of a load of things that are just not true. No way would I shake their hand in a million years. I think keeping your principles is worth the ban. Let's face it, they're a nonsense anyway.
What i think is worse is Stuart M trying to influence the ref just before kick off. Yet that's seemingly ok!
 
I think it's the first time I've commented on this thread but regardless of the rights and wrongs of Hecky's actions, I don't see how a touchline ban is punishment. All managers just take themselves up into the stand with their ear pieces in and communicate with the dugout.
What's the diff?

He can’t go into the dressing room before the game and at half time either. To be honest, like has been said earlier, a stadium ban is more effective.

I’m still thinking that although I understand why he’s angry - and rightly so if he didn’t hit the wall - he just needs to get over it before it impacts him further.

We're lucky to have SM as a number two.
Played the game, knows the game and been the number one in the dugout.

It’s an extended ban, so this part of the outcome applies.

The Guidance Document for Technical Area Dismissals, Touchline Suspensions and

Ground Suspensions sets out that for a period of an extended touchline suspension, a

Participant, in addition to the above restrictions, may not:

Enter the changing rooms at any time from 30 minutes before kick-off to 30 minutes

following the end of the match, including extra time and kicks from the penalty mark.

This also includes the half-time period
 
A manager being banned from a game is more ‘symbolic’ than anything else - grown adult professionals can crack on without them on the touchline.

Even a stadium ban isn’t a problem because they could just be based out of the car park on the coach or via a link to the hotel.

I've only seen it been announced anywhere as a touchline ban.
