Brazilian footballer Neymar is known for his on-field antics and in the past, fans have accused him of faking his injuries on the pitch. His Thursday feud with a referee in Sao Paulo is the latest addition to his long list of confrontations and run-ins with match officials.

Fans have slammed Brazil forward Neymar for his angry outburst at referee Roberto Tobar during his national team's 1-0 triumph in a World Cup qualifying clash on Thursday.

While some football lovers labelled Neymar as a "disgrace", others declared him as a "spoiled brat" who doesn't believe in giving respect to the custodians of the sport's rules.

I’m sorry, but how can Neymar get away with doing this to the referee??

He really is a spoiled brat, isn’t he? And the referee seems scared of him. pic.twitter.com/1GCqutqmrf

Neymar doesn't seem to realize that referees, especially in conmebol, do not take him seriously. if he goes down, there will always be the thought in the back of their minds that he's just diving or making it look worse https://t.co/rmdJVozm8O

3 times tonight Neymar has been in the referee's face, and I mean nose to nose, verbally abusing him & pointing his finger.

That's on top of 90mins of whinging, diving, throwing tantrums, trying to get Colombian players carded (not that they need help with that). He's a disgrace

Neymar must stop faking fouls. He destroys the game by cheating, referees must know this or VAR must intervene to stop this clown.

The incident happened after just nine minutes of game time, as an angry Neymar shouted into the referee's face before his chest-to-chest collision with him.

However, Neymar was let off by the referee as he didn't penalise the 29-year-old footballer for making contact with him.
