    Shocking footage. Football as a whole just encourages abuse of refs.

    If you watch clips of the incident, not only does he get punched, someone then kicks him in the head when he’s on the floor. Shocking …

    I’ve probably got a warped sense of humour but refs can be difficult at times.
    like when Di Canio pushed the ref. I’m afraid it made me laugh.

    I get where you are coming from but tbf there's a bit of a difference between fronting up to a ref (deserved or not) or even a bit of pushing and shoving and a full on punch to the face - and then kicking/stamping on him on the ground.

    He's got a fractured eye socket. This isn't just a bit of a hissy fit, it's assault.

    In the Turkey match the ref got a fractured eye socket from a punch and got kicked on the ground.
    It was a complete fucking disgrace.

    It was still wrong but you haven't got a warped sense of humour if you thought there was comedic element to Di Canio little push and the bizarre fall of the ref But what's your comment on a ref being assaulted and ending up in hospital @Arsenetatters ?

    It was an assault, as simple as that.

    The club should be thrown out of the league - or be forced to play out the season behind closed doors, with a points deduction so large that it effectively relegates them.

    Punishes the fans more than anything. It was just club officials involved wasn’t it? Just nick the bloke for assault.
