problem is, nothing will change. Muscat and Arnold will still get away with bloody murder each week while Okon will cop a card for farting on the sideline.

If he farts like I do, he should get carded.

Errr ... I'm not so sure about that one ??
Okon DID get quite 'fiery
' on the sidelines last season .... remonstrating with the 4th and at times directly at Ref over poor decisions.So he could be good for at least one or two

But compared to Muscat and Arnold?
Referees should just use the tools they already have. Some coaches get treated differently, and that's not going to change.
Want to stamp out dissent? Start with the players constantly mobbing the referee.

He did but was very good at stopping and going back to his seat after told that's enough. Was the perfect balance for me.Errr ... I'm not so sure about that one ??

Yeah, compared to those two, they're a league above.
Okon does have an 'air of crankiness' at times, especially at post match media, similar to Arnie when things arent going 'their way' results wise.
As for mobbing the Ref ?
- check the Turkish Süper Lig !!
Watching Popovic's new club Karabükspor play Galatasaray last nite the 'mobbing' of the referee was out of control.
Popovic has his work cut out teaching those CB's to 'play-out'

Young Socceroos heading to Hanoi
Football Federation Australia (FFA) can advise that is has received official confirmation from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) that its AFC U19 Championship 2018 Group J Qualification matches will now be held in Hanoi, Vietnam in November.
Australia was originally scheduled to host Group J of the qualification process in Shepparton, Victoria, however the Federal Government’s decision not to grant visas to the team from DPR Korea forced AFC to move Group J to a neutral venue.
While disappointed not to host the AFC U19 Championship 2018 Qualification matches, FFA respects the Australian Government’s responsibility to make decisions on visa applications.
Alongside the Young Socceroos and DPR Korea, Group J includes the Northern Mariana Islands and Hong Kong. Australia needs to top Group J in Vietnam, or be one of the five best runners-up from the ten groups, to advance to next year’s AFC U19 Championship Finals which will be held in Indonesia.
The Young Socceroos squad will head to Hanoi on Wednesday 1 November 2017 and play Northern Mariana Islands in their first match on Saturday 4 November 2017. The team will play its second game against Hong Kong two days later, before completing the qualification process against DPR Korea on Wednesday 8 November 2017.
All of Australia’s matches will be played at Vietnam’s National Youth Football Training Centre.
FFA can also confirm the 23 players bound for Hanoi as part of Head Coach Ufuk Talay’s squad. All players in the squad are currently based in Australia, with 21 of the 23 players aligned to Hyundai A-League Clubs.
Melbourne City FC (8 players) and Western Sydney Wanderers FC (7 players) are strongly represented in the squad, while Brisbane Roar (3 players), Melbourne Victory (1 player), Sydney FC (1 player), and Perth Glory (1 player) will also have players representing Australia in Vietnam next month.
Melbourne City's Dylan Pierias
“It’s disappointing that we aren’t able to play these qualification matches in our own backyard, but it will be a great experience for the boys to play in Vietnam,” said Talay. “We’re looking forward to the challenge, and our aim is to secure three wins to guarantee qualification for next year’s AFC U19 Championship in Indonesia.”
“There is almost 12 months between the qualification phase and next year’s Championship proper, so this will give us a good window to prepare the squad should we successfully qualify,” concluded Talay.

Westfield W-League season shaping up to be the best yet
The Westfield W-League’s 10th season has been launched in Sydney today – and it’s shaping up to be the best yet.
Australia’s trailblazing elite women’s football league features some of the world’s best players, more double-headers with the Hyundai A-League and extended broadcast coverage amid unprecedented interest in women’s football.
The Westfield W-League begins this Friday at 5.20pm at Allianz Stadium where Sydney FC take on Brisbane Roar FC; a clash that will include 10 current Westfield Matildas.
Football Federation Australia Chief Executive Officer David Gallop believes that the Westfield W-League gives fans the chance to see some of the world’s best women players in their own backyard.
“Sam Kerr has created headlines around the world with her goal scoring this year,” Gallop said.
“She was player of the year in the Westfield W-League last season and has followed that up with a bag full of goals for the Matildas and the Golden Boot in the United States where she has also just been named Most Valuable Player in the National Women’s Soccer League.
“With Sam turning out for Perth Glory and plenty of her Matildas teammates at other Westfield W-League clubs, fans will be seeing world class action week in and week out.”
The Head of the Westfield W-League and Hyundai A-League, Greg O’Rourke, said the clubs and the players, through Professional Footballers Australia, had worked hard during the off season to finalise a new agreement which provides significantly better pay and employment conditions for Westfield W-League players.
“Football is the world’s biggest sport and women’s football is the fastest growing area of the sport here in Australia,” O’Rourke said.
“We want to create a professional pathway in our game that will attract the best female athletes.”
O’Rourke said the number of Westfield W-League games on FOX SPORTS would increase from 17 last season to 27 this season.
He also confirmed that two games a week would be simulcast on SBS Viceland, meaning the Westfield W-League could be seen on free-to-air television around Australia.
“Westfield W-League fans are getting more on television and they are getting more when they come to the ground with more double headers with the Hyundai A-League.
"With 25 double headers, one ticket gets you the best women’s football and the best men’s football.”

FFA to trial cards for team officials within the Technical Area
Football Federation Australia (FFA) will continue to be a pioneer of World Football with the introduction of Yellow cards (YC) and Red cards (RC) for Coaches and other team officials.
The trial is aimed at improving the behaviour of team officials primarily towards match officials but also opposition team officials whilst in the technical area.
The Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League will be the first top-tier domestic competitions in the world to receive approval from the International Football Advisory Board (IFAB) to conduct the experimental trial which will commence from this weekend (Round 5 of the Hyundai A League and Round 2 of the Westfield W League commencing Friday 3rd November 2017) and also from the opening round of the Foxtel Y-League.
The Head of the Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League, Greg O’Rourke, believes this trial will be a positive move for the game.
“Referees already have a process which is by way of conversation to Coaches to warn them before removing them from the technical area after poor behaviour. Essentially, this trial will visualise those steps and as such better communicate to fans that the Referees are giving the coaches and others formal warnings." said O’Rourke.
“It will help fans and viewers better understand the issues that match officials face on a weekly basis and help promote respect towards them. Importantly it will send a strong message throughout the game at grassroots level that poor behaviour towards match officials and opposition team officials is unacceptable and carries consequences."
“In addition, we have also updated our regulations so this consequence of accumulating yellow cards for team officials will be in line with the same regulations for players and will lead to Coaches and other team officials being required to miss games when the accumulation reaches the thresholds.”
“The ideal outcome of the trial is to improve behaviour from within the technical area towards match officials and also between team benches,” concluded O’Rourke.
This experimental trial is part of IFAB’s global “Play Fair” initiative which aims to make football fairer, more attractive and more enjoyable, promoting players and officials as positive role models for society.

Guidelines to match officials for cautioning and dismissing team officials and players within the Technical area
- Referees will use their judgement when deciding whether behaviour by a team official requires a warning (Ask), a caution (Tell) or dismissal (Remove).
- Yellow card and red card infringements by team officials are specified in the relevant Disciplinary Regulations.
- A team official who accumulates Yellow Cards during the course of the season and respective Finals Series will serve suspensions in line with the relevant competition regulations.
- The following examples are provided as guidelines for match officials.

- Failing to cooperate with a match official e.g. ignoring a 4th Official’s instruction / request
- Persistent questioning of refereeing decisions
- Entering the field of play in a respectful / non-confrontational manner (including attempting to assist in a non-confrontational situation)
- Leaving the technical area in a non-confrontational manner (e.g. running down the touchline in excessive goal celebrations)
Include (but not limited to):
- Persistent / repeated unacceptable behaviour (including repeated warning offences)
- Dissent by word or action including:
- Throwing / kicking drink bottles or other objects to show dissent (i.e. non-aggressive manner, not on the field, not at someone)
- Gestures which show a clear lack of respect for the match official(s) e.g. sarcastic clapping
- Gesturing or acting in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way, including gesturing for a RC or YC to be shown
- Clearly / persistently not respecting the confines of their team’s technical area
- Deliberately entering the technical area of the opposing team (non-confrontational)
- Delaying the restart of play by their team

I rate this amongst the disappearing spray as a stupid 'solution' to a problem that shouldn't exist.
The problem is that officials aren't doing their job in stopping abuse. They already have the tools to curb abuse - they need to be told to use those tools, to do it consistently, and the assessors need to do their job and start marking them down when they're not doing it.
The ONLY positive here is that coaches may accumulate yellow cards and reach suspension (as opposed to being warned every game and nothing happens). But this isn't going to solve anything.
The officials will probably be told to find an excuse to use it so we'll see one or two incidents of stricter officiating. IT'll be a manger from a small club, like Okon, who cops the first card. Managers like Muscat have always been favoured by the refs so he's never going to see a red card here. Nothing will change.
And this sure as hell won't do anything to reduce player abuse. Which, again, only happens because referees allow it.

Agreed, although it does offer certain administrative difficulties
