I suspect it is because of Cook's repeated transgressions that the ban is so long BUT the fact that the ref walks away from that game without sanction is a joke - there is absolutely no accountability for unacceptably poor performance which is a joke.

He’s the ref at York v Bromley tomorrow I believe. Will have a look at the odds for red and yellow cards!!

If you find a bookie that does them at this level, post it on here, I can’t find one that does.

If Jack Taylor (Young ones ask grandad) was looking down from upon high watching that clown officiating, then he will have filled St Peter's swear box three times over 😇.

Do people not see that this is the ref who booked Quigley for celebrating a goal, booked Grigg & Naylor for being frustrated at not getting a free kick, booked Colclough for telling him his decision was a joke when Cookie was sent off, repeatedly ignored calls for fouls against our players. The same ref who completely riled up a home crowd for his constant decisions against us and you expect Cookie (a manager who wears his heart on his sleeve) watch his players get fouled constantly & who he will back to the hilt to not lose his sh*t just as much as the supporters did?
Come on folk, he is a bloke who is also wanting the best for our club and when we get sh*t officiating like we did the other night he will shout just as much as we did.

Cookie is who he is. Needs to task Gary and Danny with sharing the giving of pitchside feedback to referees.

This ref now responsible for 12 matches of bans at least, he was the ref Marc White waited for in the car park at York!

4 games is ridiculous for a sending off, complete lunacy from the FA and not consistent with other touchline bans, the ref should face sanction as he was by far the worst I’ve seen since EJ Parker!

This ref was also the orchestrator of the most pathetic attempt to 'wind' a team up hoping for a reaction and adding to his yellow card count for descent with his objecting to a bit of extra white on Quigs socks.

And ironically and it just shows the standard of officiating in this league when in the next home game, both teams turn out in white shorts (a definate no no) and not a word said.

If a certain lager brewery made refs, he certainly wouldn't be one of them. I have no problem with a referee who gets the odd decision wrong, but to run the game as if only he mattered is unforgivable.

You’d have to think there will come a point where Cook is sanctioned by the club

We are now effectively without a match day manager for 20% of the season so far

In the same way your hero's been "sanctioned"?

By a succession of clubs...

In rugby at the top level you don’t see managers pitch side and they use technology to communicate with the bench as I’m sure Paul Cook will for the next 4 games

Being suspended from the touchline for shouting at the ref is not the same as being suspended for waving your todger about.
He still takes training, picks the team, travels, decides the tactics, gives the pre match and half time team talks. The only difference is he shouting at the players from a few rows back from the dugout.

You are either going for the greatest trolling on football forums 2023 award or you are one of the biggest wet wipes to ever post on here.

I don’t believe anyone could dislike their manager this much. 🏆

Especially when you hear so many opposition managers saying how much they like and respect him.

And then of course there is the league position

How much difference does a manager being in the dug our makes to a game?
My estimate would be 0%

Is that based on any research or just a gut feeling? Would be interested as 100% of managers are in the dug out unless banned. They all must believe it makes a difference

Def gut feeling.
