Are referees goldfish?

They had this new edict at the start of the season regarding dissent and waving imaginary cards and stuck by it, more or less. Then they forgot about it and have to be reminded about it again?

It always happens though, they start the season being better about letting soft challenges go, and booking people for dissent etc. Then the big name managers and the pundits who support those clubs start to complain and the refs back off. I wish they'd just stick to their guns
