This is the longest period of my 46 years in football without playing or coaching, I'm starting to feel very detached and lost, it's amazing how much the game is part of your DNA, your life, your thoughts. I now understand what Shankly ment...

When a ref is assaulted in a game people say ban the idiot for a few games, but if it happened in the car park,the idiot would be arrested and charged with assault. What makes an assault on a pitch above the law? Or am i missing something.
