Contact IAKO@dailymail.co.uk\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says attitudes and behaviour towards referees in the top flight need to improve.<\/p>\n<p>Postecoglou was booked for the first time in his managerial career as his Spurs team lost at home to Chelsea earlier this month. Asked last night if players and managers must do better, Postecoglou told Mail Sport: \u2018Yes, 100 per cent. I was embarrassed for being booked, even if it wasn\u2019t for abuse. It was for leaving the technical area.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Anyone who has been in the game any length of time will tell you we have all experienced a bad decision \u2014 something goes against us \u2014 and also benefited from it. We have understood that\u2019s part of our game. That\u2019s the beauty of our game. There are flaws in it because we are dealing with human beings.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If I take that another step back and think about the junior playground where young referees are trying to do it, what are they going to do and what are they going to see? \u2018There does need to be some addressing of behaviour along the way. It\u2019s easy for me to say but I have to live it and make sure I set that example.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/21\/78083291-12777267-image-a-25_1700603902461.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou believes attitudes towards referees must improve<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/22\/78084001-12777267-image-a-27_1700604036188.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Postecoglou admits he was embarrassed after he was booked against Chelsea this month<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/21\/78080051-12777267-image-a-26_1700603912814.jpg\" height=\"289\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport has launched a campaign to stop the abuse of referees at all levels of the game<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I am as competitive as anyone.

At the top level, Postecoglou feels the introduction of VAR has actually made things harder for referees.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think VAR has played a role,\u2019 he added. \u2018We have diminished the role of the official, almost made their jobs impossible.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Now I am thinking about referees going out on to a field of play not having the authority they used to. Because every decision gets questioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Our game is now refereed externally. So as an official, how are you supposed to have any authority over the players?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We as managers have a responsibility to set an example.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018More broadly, I don\u2019t like where we are taking the game in terms of that part of it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/22\/78084067-12777267-image-a-28_1700604086976.jpg\" height=\"431\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Tottenham boss believes the introduction of VAR has\u00a0diminished the role of referees<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12777267\/Ange-Postecoglou-players-managers-behaviour-referees-improve.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ange Postecoglou admits players and managers MUST improve behaviour towards referees, as the Tottenham boss reveals he was &#8217;embarrassed&#8217; after being booked against Chelsea Postecoglou believes introducing VAR has diminished the role of referees\u00a0 Mail Sport has launched a campaign to stamp out referee abuse at all levels Have you witnessed abuse of referees?
