Daland and NG are our worst offenders

My mistake, it was Carragher & Aurelio who were manhandling Purse at corners. You’re quite correct, as well, regarding Fraizer Campbell, he took a terrible battering with no protection from the officials.

This is what I was on about with the ‘finger wagging’, then letting it go again. You’re quite correct, it’s the ref’s weakness that annoys the crowd.

An analogy for you. Imagine teaching the class with all of the idiots in, you know the one, the kids that would jump out of windows and set fire to things. All of a sudden you start cracking the whip, even though those kids have done what the hell they have liked for years. You start sending then en masse to the headmaster, which ****s his day up, you start getting abuse from the kids, which ****s your day up, you have to get the parents up the school, which ****s everyones day up. Basically, by doing the right thing you cause more problems, not just for yourself, but for everyone involved. Best let the little bastards do what they like and everyone can go home happy. That's probably what a referee feels like at corners and set pieces, a token wag of the finger suits everyone concerned..... As you were so to speak..... :thumbup::hehe:

Do we really want a game where every little pull, push, arse into players is penalised, because i don't, it would ruin the game, and i'm not talking blatant fouls like the one we saw Tanner commit on Darling for the Goutas goal against the jacks, that should have been a free kick, but he got away with it, good, more power to Tanner. I can't recall you or Bob having a problem with that one. Consistency boys, as we say about referees....... :hehe: :thumbup:
But we all know with that fans consistency is a one way street. :hehe:

Re: When were the laws of the game changed?
Great example of the way things are at the moment in the Burnley v Leeds game just now (and I’ve only been watching it for a few minutes):
Joe Rodon goes to ground after the slightest touch from a Burnley player and gets a free kick. Don Goodman’s response: “That’s just not a foul. Referees shouldn’t be fooled by things like that.”
No criticism whatsoever of Rodon for a blatant bit of cheating, though.

Strange thing is I watched County v Swindon on Friday and there didn’t seem to be anywhere near as much wrestling at set pieces and general cheating involved, but maybe I was just thinking that because I wanted it to be like that?
Burnley 0 Leeds 0, most predictable result of the season so far.

Brighton 0 Everton 1 was a given as well
