A charity committed to supporting referees has called for teams to be docked points if found to be displaying threatening behaviour towards match officials after the recent incident involving Andy Robertson and Constantine Hatzidakis.
After being confronted by the Liverpool left-back during Sunday's 2-2 draw at Anfield involving Arsenal, assistant referee Hatzidakis appeared to strike the Scotland international in the face with his elbow before walking away.
An FA investigation was soon after launched into this altercation, though it has been determined Hatzidakis will face no further action from football's governing body despite predictions that he would be set for an extended period of receiving no match appointments.
