One thing I learnt from the FA website when looking at the QPR incident

Is that Kenny told the ref v Boro he was sh*te at his job and a useless f**k.

Apparently because the ref would not explain to him why it was a red not a yellow.

I have no real feel for how far that crosses the line in terms of how footballers often talk to refs. I suspect not that much as they seem to swear at them a lot although obviously they shouldn’t be swearing at refs at all.
