Aye, you can be sent off in the dressing room before kickoff, and after the final whistle as well. Just another way for the referee to exercise his dominion over the players.
Do you mean that the referee has authority from the moment they enter the dressing room until they leave the dressing room after the game?
I'm currently watching the "Calgary" - Lazio match, and it has not been that entertaining thus far. Massimo Mutarelli is running around with tattoos obliterating his arm and looking like a Paolo Di Canio wannabe. Rocchi is missing chances again while David Sauzo continues to stretch his long Honduran legs and Cagliari is still being called the Calgary Flames by the commentators. For some reason Jerome Iginla just hit the post.
