Pull Backs (Shut it Dawson)

Change the game for the good, immediately. Straight red. Anywhere on the pitch.

 

I agree. I'll go a bit further. A professional foul under the rules of the game is a straight red. Regardless of where it happens on the pitch. It's in the rule book. How many nonchalant flicks and trips are laughed off by players and officials? Spot on mate.

 

you pull anyone's shirt and you're forced to wear oven gloves for the rest of the game

Oh and it's a penalty

Would soon stop

 

That would be far, far too inconsistent and would ruin the game. It might be a good idea in principle but the referees are horrific as they are. This will add so much more pressure and mess it up completely.

 

Fancy applying the rules.

 

Tell me about it mate

 

Discretion is obviously key but the OP is right. If you apply the laws of the game literally to every game we wouldn't have a game.

I agree with that. I'd love a game to be suspended by the rules.

 

Edit football is the ultimate oxymoron.

 

I think for each shirt pull, the offending player should have a dogs egg fired into their faces using a black widow catapult. The crowd should then have a specific song for this like on gladiators. I.e “you’re a shyt eater, you like tasting bab” to the tune of daytripper by the Beatles

 

Special request from Barnsley F.C. to also have to wear a pink apron.
But, seriously, the product on offer is broken. Minutes the ball is in play, minimal. Feigned injury, time wasting. Even coaches out of the technical area, (scrap this area. I'd much rather see them hurtling up and down the touchline exploding with apoplecticity). ETC. ETC.........
Have rules, enforce them. It wouldn't take too long for the whole corrupt and obscenely overpaid business to react if a Premier league match was reduced to 7 a side after 10 minutes, forcing it to be abandoned.......
Imagine, just imagine the fallout..........Glorious.
