The last thing that is important at the top level of football in England is the ball. Every match I watch now sees players penalised for fair tackles and, in some cases, they are also cautioned.
We can't be reckless or endanger an opponent because we will be cautioned, if we use unnecessary force, which includes throwing the ball at an opponent, this is a red card offence.
The game has certainly gone soft and will get even worse.
I keep watching the Pickford "challenge/assault" on VDV - how the phuck did he get away with that?
