Misconduct in the technical area is not a matter that will only affect the image of the team official or player concern. It will directly or indirectly jeopardize the image of football in the country. Anyone officially allowed in the technical area who is not a named player or substitute (substituted player) is a team official. Thus to raise the standard and image of football in our country, all person involved directly or indirectly with football have to play their role with commitment and honesty.
Behavior that might be considered as misconduct if committed by a substitute or substituted player would include dissent, offensive, insulting or abusive language, entering the field without the permission of the referee, violent conduct, unsporting behavior or receiving a second yellow card in the same match.
Team officials must conduct themselves in a responsible manner in the technical area. If they do not, they may be expelled from the field of play and its immediate surroundings. Behavior that might be considered as irresponsible are: throwing object in protest, speaking insulting words or making offensive gestures, kicking chair, making unwanted contact with opponents, striking advertising boards, persistently and flagrantly protesting decisions by an official, interfering with the performance of assistant referee or fourth official duties, refusing to return to the technical area, entering the field without the permission of the referee.The assistant referees and fourth officials shall assist the referee in monitoring the behavior of persons in the technical area and in alerting the referee when such behavior exceeds reasonable bounds. To err is human; the FA in its capacity is trying their level best to raise the standard of refereeing to a higher level. This needs the cooperation of all concerned. It will be a tragedy to see the referee having to get the team official off the bench to the grand stand. We pray that this day will not be a reality.
