It also slows the game down, encourages time wasting and penalises attacking intent. Also, every time an attacker tries to muscle past a defender... the defender collapses to the ground and a free kick is awarded.

I'd like to see an Indirect free kick to the attacking side... or permission given for an off the ground two footed tackle from behind given
This has been going on for years and I have never understood why it is not classed as obstruction.
