"However, Bournemouth players were unhappy with the decision, and some of their players surrounded the referee, Jarred Gillett, to protest against his decision. The Premier League already has a rule in place where only captains are allowed to approach referees, and any other player surrounding them will be issued sanctions. Now, PGMOL expert and former chief Keith Hackett has revealed to Football Insider that Bournemouth good face a fine after crowding the referee against Crystal Palace."
"It's against protocol. Even though there's captains only', I hope the protocol is that referees being surrounded by three or more players is a reportable scenario. That becomes a potential fine for the offending team, and even though they're big decisions, this must be stopped. As a fan, you get the frustration. You want your team to win, but Gillett had a great performance."
"He understands what is a foul and what isn't. He's bang in form, give him the games. It will be interesting to see if the cherries are punished in the coming weeks. The Cherries will certainly hope to escape a fine this time, but they need to be more careful during heated moments on the pitch. They have started the season well, and they will look to build on that in the coming weeks."
Bournemouth and Crystal Palace played a 3-3 Premier League draw decided by a last-minute penalty. Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi was brought down inside the area by Bafode Diakite, leading to the decisive spot kick. Bournemouth players surrounded referee Jarred Gillett to protest the decision, breaching the captains-only protocol. Crowding the referee by three or more players is a reportable scenario and can lead to a potential fine for the offending team. Jarred Gillett delivered a strong performance and correctly adjudicated the foul. Bournemouth will hope to avoid punishment and must manage heated moments more carefully while building on a positive season start.
