Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions about how to referee football matches is a matter for organisers and the football authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
