Paulus said:Football was once a sport where physical contact was expected, and the stronger player would win the ball. Now, the game is for cheats who, at the minimum of contact will fall, sometimes spectacularly to the ground in the hope of conning the ref that he has been fouled in order to win a free kick, or a penalty. Also, some feign injury in order to stop play so that the team who is attacking have to stop play and needlessly kick the ball into touch to break up the play so that the opposing team can regroup. Cynical? I am.
Aperitif said:I think the rules should be changed in Soccer. If someone ends up on the floor and a free kick is not given, then it should entitle the referee to send him off for five minutes. (Sin bin) Get a few more refs involved - like Pro Football in the USA. Don't let the cheaters get away with anything...no tugging, no gobbing etc etc - just sport.
The sin bin is the only way these tossers will learn manners.
