Option to criticise subjective refereeing decisions post-match

[youngs15]

We often get asked in press conferences/tunnel interviews about offside decisions, which are objective decisions and mostly correctly given in FM, even in games without VAR. Why don't we get asked about subjective refereeing decisions, such as red cards or penalties?

 

You often see in the text commentary "that seems a harsh decision!" when a penalty is awarded, but it never gets mentioned after the match. The only time we're asked about red cards is how the player will react to their "mistake" of getting sent off.

 

This doesn't reflect real life at all, where on a weekly basis you see manager's complain about questionable refereeing decisions regarding penalties or red cards (when they're given and not given) up and down the country. A common technique to protect squad morale is for managers to point the blame for a poor result on the referee about subjective decisions, deflecting criticism from their players. It would be good (and more realistic) to be able to do this in FM.

Agree with your suggestions.

If there are a lot of fouls in a match the press will ask something vague about the quality of refereeing in the match or in the country, and you're given options to support the refs or say they're not good enough, and you'll get asked about VAR sometimes if it's used, but sadly those are pretty much the extent of it.

I agree, I think it is also necessary that complaints can be made directly in the game. And in case take bookings or expulsions as coaches. As it happens in reality

Thank you for the suggestion. This will be considered by the developers.
