The FA would not accept that the example should be set by those playing at the top level and insisted that it had to come from grassroots. Crazy!!
    It might not seem like it Supersub, but I do have some sympathy for refs, I wouldn't say they're all lions by any means, but they're certainly led by donkeys.
