Maybe if the FA started dishing out bans like this then players/managers might think twice before giving the ref abuse.

Ryan handed 13-week touchline ban
Dean Ryan has been hit with a 13-week touchline ban for verbally abusing referee Rob Debney after Gloucester's match against Saracens on 18 February.
Ryan is now banned from the pitch, touchline, technical, tunnel and dressing room areas on match days.
The suspension runs until 31 May and also applies to the play-offs.
