wasn't there also a fat bonus he would've gotten as well? We chose the players over the manager.
Jose Mourinho

We would have had a trophy potentially. Worth the money.

SHould have been kicked out of the game for good. And I say this as a long time fan of his.
What he did was so far beyond the pale...

Mate that's about 90% of the thread.
You'd be forgiven for thinking Jose has had affairs with most of SC's wives.

Nah, it’s just Jose simps that think it’s no big deal. Most people see a coach hanging around a car park waiting for a ref like a stalker to call him a cheat and a **** because he lost a game his team deserved to lose as totally unacceptable.
If that had been Arteta doing that after we beat them in a final people would’ve rightly gone mad, you definitely wouldn’t have Riggi piping up with a “oh it’s not that bad” comment but Mourinho has this strange pull over some people that even when he does something totally unacceptable, like bringing the game into disrepute, it gets treated as no big deal and then fans ask themselves why there’s a culture problem in football? It’s because of people like Mourinho not being made an example of and it just getting treated as one of those things.
10 years in prison I would say.

Yeah you're right, the footballing world would be a much nicer place if every team was managed by Graham 'The Geography Teacher' Potter.
Fuck that.

You’ve been watching to much Succession, people acting like ***** isn’t a good thing.
I think the game is better off without the harassing refs in car parks calling them cheats and ***** to be honest. I can just about tolerate Klopps sideline antics but will draw the line at him calling refs cheats in his post match interview but going to a car park an hour or so after the final whistle to confront a ref is something I wouldn’t even expect Klopp to do.

Had a look to see what action was taken and it seems to be a 4 game ban and Roma fined €50k. Joke of a fine. Would’ve been better to fine Mourinho personally and a good 7 figures to teach him a lesson. He can stop easily afford that but it would hurt I would imagine. A €50k fine to the club is a joke.

@E17yid must’ve been absolutely fuming when Rice said this:
I would love to know what punishment Rice deserved for this in comparison, seems as it’s literally the same verbal abuse?

The same thing
He was waiting for him in underground car park hours after the game.

You know exactly what I meant when I said it’s the same thing, in terms of openly verbally attacking a referee of the game but seems as everyone will argue semantics in here and not the actual act I’ll change my post.

They should both have had a proportionate ban for doing this in the direct aftermath of the game when done in the pitch, tunnel or dressing room. Mourinho should have then got more for taking it outside of that period.
You know that though

IMHO, the location or time of the incident would be way less relevant to a case (sporting court case or disciplinary case) than the act itself and severity of the abuse given to the referee other than extreme cases where the referees private residence or space is violated. The perfect analogy would be a murder committed in the streets is just as bad as a murder committed behind closed doors of a family home.
The reason I brought it up is that I think most fans won’t admit that they want a more severe punishment for Mourinho because it’s Mourinho and not because he committed some heinous act that has never been seen or done before in football. It happens all the time, referees receive and ungodly amount of abuse and threats from fans outside of the game. Mourinho’s case just highlights an existing problem within the game.

I completely disagree. All of the abuse needs stamping down on and Rice's is an example. Dishing out a few one game bans for stuff like that would help. But Rice's was heat of the moment directly post game. Mourinho's was more calculating and also invaded private space. A substantial amount of time had passed post game to cool down but he still went for it.
I have my views as to why he did it but that shouldn't come into the punishment. It overstepped the mark substantially

Fair enough but you’re still making an exception for Rice which is exactly what I was pointing out. We need to have maximum punishment for ANY abuse hurled at a referee and we shouldn’t be attributing levels to that punishment based on when, where or by who the abuse has been committed. Rice would’ve been right in the referee’s face and therefore personal space if he hadn’t been held back by other officials. There are similarities to be drawn from both and yet Rice barely received any backlash or punishment for it and Mourinho needs to be hung?

I haven't made an exception for Rice at all. I think all occurrences that happen within that space should be a 1 match ban. Same for Jose if he'd done that.
You're tying yourself in knots to defend Mourinho with situations that aren't equitable.

I’m not defending him at all, I’m calling out a blatant hypocrisy that’s all. He deserves whatever punishments he’s received, but he doesn’t deserve any worse than anyone else who has abused referees. We can agree to disagree on the severity but you can’t tell me there haven’t been hyperbolic calls for punishment in here.

He doesn't, but then again those 2 situations aren't equitable.

They are though, it’s not like I’ve compared it to the referee being beheaded in South America for making a wrong call in a game, I’ve compared two similar situations and the huge difference in criticism levelled at the perpetrators. The difference in criticism is far bigger than the difference in incidence here.
