Contact IAKO@dailymail.co.uk<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Premier League players cannot say they weren\u2019t warned.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of respect shown towards referees had been in the news all week, as Mail Sport set the agenda with their campaign against abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis Dunk and his colleagues should have anticipated a no-nonsense approach heading into the weekend\u2019s return of the Premier League. But the Brighton defender clearly crossed the line with Anthony Taylor on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>You could see the change in Taylor\u2019s facial expression when Dunk was barking in his ear. Dunk tried to offer an apologetic handshake but the damage was already done, to the extent that Taylor decided a second yellow was not enough. He showed a straight red instead.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m totally in favour of a hardline approach being taken by our referees. Enough X-rated abuse is aimed at us from the outside world. It shouldn\u2019t be coming from the players on the pitch, too. Debates over decisions are fine. Derogatory insults are not and Taylor, one of the game\u2019s best officials, demonstrated enough is enough when he reached for his top pocket.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/20\/78230365-0-Lewis_Dunk_was_sent_off_after_two_bookings_for_dissent_having_pr-a-46_1701030532025.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Brighton defender Lewis Dunk was sent off after two bookings for dissent on Saturday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/20\/78230339-0-The_Brighton_defender_got_in_the_face_of_fourth_official_Andy_Da-a-45_1701030524514.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Dunk got in the face of fourth official Andy Davies after his dismissal at Nottingham Forest<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/26\/19\/78080051-0-Mail_Sport_has_launched_a_campaign_to_stop_the_abuse_of_referees-a-43_1701026797673.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>I was told on Sunday that I was the last Premier League referee to show a red for dissent \u2014 to Lee Cattermole in March 2012. Sunderland had just drawn 1-1 at Newcastle. It was a bad-tempered derby and one which saw Shola Amoeba score the equaliser in stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p>After blowing the full-time whistle, Cattermole bombarded me with insults, none of which I could repeat in a family newspaper. It pushed me to the point where I decided showing red was right, not realising it might take more than a decade for the next one to be produced.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, I don\u2019t miss refereeing, and the aggro you receive as that supposedly wicked man in black is a big reason why.<\/p>\n<p>Premier League players should prepare for firmness from referees for the foreseeable. The PGMOL want to crack down on this behaviour and rightly so, because it feels like the abuse has only worsened as players have forgotten their boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>Something had to change and Taylor led the way this weekend.<\/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-12793603\/MIKE-DEAN-time-adopt-hardline-approach-officials-deal-X-rated-abuse-outside-world-shouldnt-coming-players-too.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIKE DEAN: Enough is enough!
