I agree the influence certain players have over the generations of kids,its so often seen that these kids are being shown and taught that respect is the last thing you need to be thinking about.Which like you TigerBabes i agree is wrong,and players who are immortallised by youngsters nowadays should no matter how wrong they beleive a decision has been made should accept it.
The FA and PFA have official channels that both players and managers can go down to argue their case afterwards,so they should promptly accept the decisions get on with the game and then deal with the apparent misjustice afterwards.Granted some badly called decisions made can be the costing of 3pts or no points,but thats life and i feel alot of todays players attitude problems stem more from the alter-egos and the amount of monies that they have gained through the years.
The respecting officials goes further to,as alot of modern players show just as much lack of respect to their respective managers and throw public hissy fits ie;Robbie Kean at Spurs throwing his clubs track-suit top down after being subbed...never mind the respect of the gaffers decision but what about respecting the club as a whole,his obvious discontent was also a sign of disrespect for the club he so dearly loves and worst still a total disregard to all those supporters who idolise him at white hart lane.

Its about time players of all levels grew up and started acting like the influential idols and dipolmats of the sport that their are.
