Want a referee for every match >>>>

Respect Code of Conduct

Adult Players

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game.
Players tell us they want a referee for every match, yet 7,000 match officials drop out each season because of the abuse and intimidation they receive on and off the pitch.
Respect your referee today and you may just get one for every match this season.

Play your part and observe The FA?s
Respect Code of Conduct for players
at all times.

On and off the field, I will -

>> Adhere to the Laws of The Game
>> Display and promote high standards of behaviour
>> Promote Fair Play
>> Always respect the match officials' decisions
>> Never engage in public criticism
of the match officials
>> Never engage in offensive, insulting
or abusive language or behaviour
>> Never engage in bullying, intimidation or harassment
>> Speak to my team-mates, the opposition and my coach/manager with respect
>> Remember we all make mistakes
>> Win or lose with dignity. Shake hands
with the opposing team and the referee
at the end of every game.

I understand that if I do not follow the
Code, any/all of the following actions may be taken by my club, County FA or The FA.

I may:
>> Be required to apologise to team-mates, the other team, referee or team manager
>> Receive a warning from the coach
>> Receive a written warning from the
club committee
>> Be required to attend an FA
education course
>> Be dropped or substituted
>> Be suspended from training
>> Not be selected for the team
>> Be required to serve a suspension
>> Be fined
>> Be required to leave the club.

In addition:
The FA/County FA could impose a fine
and/or suspension on the club.
