This week the Football Field is a sacred tech zone, and those who flaunt its sacred rules.

Frankly, the managers should be grateful that a member of the ground staff had the foresight to set aside a small box for them to watch the game from. Too often, however, the code of conduct is violated. How often do you see that the feet are rudely brought out of the boundaries circled in white? Why do harmless water bottles have to kick in annoyance? What about pushing, diving, petting? Swimming in the diving area?

Everything is unacceptable, but the worst behavior comes from the growing number of those who protest every marginal decision against their team by yelling at the fourth judges.

Jurgen Klopp is a repeat offender and has now crossed both the metaphorical and the drawn line. after a tough celebration at John Brooks' face during Liverpool's victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Some as yet undisclosed and vehemently denied snub by referee Paul Tierney appeared to have fueled his sense of injustice in this case.

This is all pretty depressing behaviour, but what can we learn from other managers and their relationships with people in the most thankless job in football?

Of course, the king of hard words with match officials, Mourinho had enough experience and discredit in the bank by the time he was at Tottenham to know that you're even more intimidating if you keep your distance from the person you're yelling at. It also helps to compare yourself to your assistant's bad cop as a slightly less bad cop.

A rather intense man. The Spurs-era photo at the top of this article is of an angry American visitor to Fawlty Towers who has been waiting too long for his Waldorf salad. The fact that the photo of Chelsea in the blue tracksuit is from the Community Shield gives you some idea of ​​Conte's sequence in the area of ​​ranting about innocent bystanders.

He was once seen as an outrageous touchline presence, lowering the standards with his frown and pointing his glasses at his watch. Now, in an era of managers who look like they want to kill and eat judges, Ferguson's antics seem almost bizarre. Here, for example, he could just as easily tell his fourth official friend that he found a much better deal away from Expedia by going straight to the hotel.

It's unusual to see a once-promising manager's reputation crumble in real time, but such is the fate of the Chelsea interim manager. There's a hint of desperation in his appeals, as if he's telling anyone who's willing to listen that it's unfair to expect him to score against Real Madrid without a recognized striker. Not suitable for the Todd Pain types who strive for a "growth mindset".

In the last days of his increasingly difficult time at Leeds United, it felt like Bielsa's familiar squatting stance was a ploy to keep him from exploding in the direction of his many misfired players . Sometimes the rage flared up, as here, when the substitution seemed to upset him. In a pre-season friendly. screams.

After realizing more flies could be caught on honey, Van Gaal turned the staid technical zone area into a place for hilarious jokes and light jokes in February 2016 by throwing himself on the ground to knock Mickey out of Alexis Sanchez and visibly dive in. It may be the highlight of the Manchester United era since Ferguson's departure, but it's not the kind of behavior that will be accepted in the super-serious Premier League.

Make no mistake, the Manchester City manager can attack the best of them, and you know it will come in the style we see here: fake-friendly, over-familiar, rather annoying.

An overlooked aspect of Wenger's favorite long coat was its ability to hold on to one hand while performing another Gallic gesture. Makes interaction with fieldside cops both respectful and dismissive. Masterful.

You can push a group of people so offended they haven't even reached the role of "assistant&#34. ;. Here we see Mike Jones, apparently telling a potential preacher where to go. Let this be a lesson to Klopp, Guardiola and everyone else: the fourth referees are pissed off as hell and won't take it anymore.
