I have to agree with Coys1882. Has anyone heard of match officials this season being punished for butchering basic calls every week? I haven't.

This.
The touchline ban is a joke, and I'm sure he hardly cares, and why should he? But he also knew that going in to those press conferences which I'm sure means that the probability of a touchline ban was hardly a deterrent.
Also, it would be nice to hear about officials getting reprimanded for poor decisions. As fans it would at least let us know that someone is doing something and maybe alleviate a little frustration.
