EPL Talk: The FA Launches New Respect Campaign That is Sure to Test the Resolve of the Top Referees

    Howard Webb actually officiated a match here in the states this past week and he seemed to enjoy the experience. Why? No Fergie to berate him or John Terry to lead a march of players surrounding him. The game which went 120 minutes and pks, was generally a polite but intense affair as it was the final of one of our regional competitions.

    I think it has become cultural thing to beat up on the officials in the PL, and it is unhealthy.

    If the John Terrys and Wayne Rooneys of the league are actually disciplined when they're out of line, I believe the campaign can be effective. I'll be surprised if the existing double standard for the English boys is eradicated.
