I agree that it's quite annoying. But they are chuffing brilliant to watch this season. Mainly because the way they set up makes them equally effective at creating and conceding a shed load of chances.
I can put a decent free kick cross in to miss the first man and im fifty with dogy ankles and havent played sunday league for 20 years.
Playere swearing and berating officials but officials just letting them do it. Yellow/red cards everytime and then we might start to see a bit more respect on the pitch.
Oakwell being shut....... Most of the previous posts fall correctly into a one word category ...Cheating...worst thing in football
Referees who think the whole fixture is about them. like prima donnas. Blowing for slightest contact stops flow of game
getting into a good position and then players committing a stupid foul and so losing advantage. Different types of illegal tackle that is fouls that would be a foul anywhere on the pitch but somehow aren't in the penalty area. And this is my current 'biggie' at corners when referees warn players about pushing prior to a corner but do bugger all about it from the attackers standpoint once the corner taken and its still happening still happening! Doesn't seem to be a problem blowing for fouls on keepers like
players diving/making a meal out of the slightest contact. there should be an after match panel to adjudicate this and retrospective red/yellow cards awarded and points deductions for the club involved. that would soon have the managers/coach's sorting it
I hate it when we get a corner and Helik or Sollbauer start grappling with opposition defenders .The referee steps in warns both parties. Then as soon as the ball is kicked blows up for a free-kick. It's lame brained.
