The RFEF's statement highlighted the ongoing verbal and even physical violence referees face, calling for an end to the targeted online attacks which affect referees and their families.
The RFEF expressed that its referees are repulsed by the vitriol directed at Jose Munuera Montero after he sent off Jude Bellingham for alleged abusive language.
