There are plenty of things football could learn from Rugby....respect for referee's, TV replay's etc etc
Given that the IRB is hardly the most enlightened of organisations it shows how poor UEFA and FIFA are
I'm not sure it is repect for referees so much as fear that if you do answer back or even query a decision you get penalised. The '10-meter rule' is not something that translates directly to football, it not being a game of territory in the same way as rugby, but I feel sure something could be aranged.Given that the IRB is hardly the most enlightened of organisations it shows how poor UEFA and FIFA are
Rugby refs also often demand that only one player from each team can speak with them if not asked. That, I think, would be a good one.
I've recently changed rugby clubs but at my old one a spectator, home or visiting, would be told to keep quiet if their criticism of the ref was seen as over the top. It was also frowned upon to set fire to the ref's car, especially if he was in it. They were very strict.

If I were a football ref I'd red card the first person who argued, and the second, and third. I'm sure the point would get through fairly quickly.
Roberto Mancini's son refused to come on as a sub, reports claim

With the money Man City have at their disposal, I'd quite like to see them force Tevez to see out the remainder of his contract - I think he still has three years to go - whilst he languishes in the reserves. Make him train with the youth teams too, away from the first team.
Would you let that bad apple loose on the Youth team? I dont want him anywhere near the club, he has insulted his manager, teammates and fans by saying no.Victor McDade said:

^^^^^ What really annoys me is when the rugby rule book is broken out and all the alleged 'people in the know' in football say none of it could be applied. Having played rugby for 17 years and had more than 6 bales of hay kicked out of me in most matches I only once failed to shake hands with a guy at the end of a game.
I hate the fact footballers get paid enormous amounts more than rugby players, whinge about the physicality of football these days and show no respect for any figures of authority. Tevez is up there with the worst of a bad bunch and is the most mercenary little shrew the game has seen. With more clubs like City getting big investors, (think PSG and Malaga) recently the sad news is that this sort of behaviour will be encoraged by agents more often.
The irony that all the players run out with the 'Respect' campaign emblem embosed on their shirts is too much to bear. Half of them don't even know what it means.
The written media and Sky make it 10 times worse than it needs to be as every bit of gossip is sensationalized.
