Imagine how many times Neil Warnock will have been fined!!!
Good old Colin Wanker...
Cant stand the bloke, but respect him at the same time...
He is in a better position to slate referees than most managers, because as well as being a manager, he is also a qualified Referee...
As for slating refs, yes, managers should be allowed to give an opinion without fear of being fined or warned by the FA, only being pulled if they go over the top witn criticism i.e. calling them a cheat or accusing them of bias to opposition
I also think managers should be allowed an audience with the referee at the end of a match to discuss decisions in the game.
A refs job is hard, very thankless, apart from the linesmen and 4th official, they have very little support and the good things they do rarely gets noticed whereas every bad decision is scrutinised in the most public way possible
