Wigan's assistant coach chats to the ref ... : Sun Sep 04, 2011 2:13 pm
Is that allowed?Sky reported that Wigan's assistant coach (who I always get mixed up with the cricket player, which is why I'm not using his name!) had a chat to the referee during the halftime break about how to avoid getting penalties in the second half, and Eddie Hemmings asked whether coaches talking to the referees during a match is allowed.
Does anyone know? It seems a very dodgy thing TO allow if it IS allowed as it doesn't exactly reinforce the impression of the referees being neutral as they should be.
