What the petition asks
Intervene and return the decision making to instant on field decisions.
Because the football governing bodies are showing incompetence on a weekly basis that is unacceptable for top level football.
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.
