Just been watching Sky Sports News and as of next season the Northern league will be trialling the automatic sending off of players who swear, even in the heat of the moment.
this will not be just for when somebody swears at the ref or another player, but whenever they swear loud enough to be heard.
this new rule will be tried out initially in the northern league but if it goes well the FA will be rolling it out across the league and non-league system.
