Inter Milan's Vieira: Players must lay-off refs
tribalfooball.com - June 16, 2007

Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira believes players must show more
respect to referees.

Players berating match officials has become an all too familiar sight across
world football and Vieira feels he and his peers can assist in remedying the
problem.

told football debate website *feelfootball.com*: "Referees are quite
isolated in comparison to players.

"There is pressure they receive from the fans, the public and the players,
so the job of the referee is becoming really hard.

"We, as players, have an important role to play, to really accept the
referee's decisions."

Vieira also claims too much pressure is placed on officials, forcing them to
shy away from making match-changing decisions.

He added: "I feel now as if the referee is going on to the pitch afraid to
make a decision - afraid even to be a referee.

"There is negative pressure on the referees and I really get the feeling
that they don't get any help from players or from the football authorities.

"The referee is under too much negative pressure. Because of this, I think
they lack spontaneity and passion.

"Being a referee should be like being a player - you should go with your
heart, enjoy it and not have to think.

"If you think it's a free-kick, you give the free-kick, but at the moment
it's less spontaneous."
