As young as this season is, sly (and not so sly) tugging of shirts is a frequent occurrence already. So rarely punished that I’m beginning to wonder if it’s accepted and allowed now. I think most of us who were at Vale Park the other night were a bit annoyed when a Port Vale defender had about 30 quids worth of Salech’s jersey in his hand at one point in the second half, in the penalty area as well. Ironically, the ref gave us a free kick for the same offence not two minutes later on Salech, this time outside the box.

Our lot are guilty of it as well, Bagan is quite adept at it. Can see someone lashing out in frustration at some point resulting in a red card. It’s something that pisses me off as a spectator, the player having his shirt pulled must be fuming. C’mon refs, get a grip (for want of a better phrase).
