Absolutely 100% vehemently agree. We had a guy getting a yellow for saying the F Word and then getting a red for saying get F'ed after getting that yellow. It's an absurd situation. Getting games for abuse - pulease. We're all grown adults, if you cannot cop a little bit of colourful language or a bit of frustrated non-constructive criticism then I'd suggest you build a bubble wrap suit and stay indoors for the rest of your life.
Seems legit, it does depend on how loud it was though IMO.
I usually ask the player to tame it down a bit if they are swearing too loud and too often, it's usually enough.
I swear heaps but there's a time and a place for it, I'd prefer to show some decorum and have pride in my club to be yelling out obscenities on the field.
