The Days Other Games (Season 2018 - 19)

[Supersub6]

Craig Pawson proving, yet again, that all physical contact will become removed from the game because every challenge seems to be deemed as dangerous!
He has managed to send a player off for the second week in succession for fouls that were cautionable, yes, but dismissals?
He managed to book Matt Ritchie in the first half for damaging a Cardiff player when, in fact, Ritchie was caught between tow Cardiff players and it was the Cardiff player who injured his own player.
The game I once loved so much is becoming a real joke, however, it would appear it is what the modern fan wants so see.
How long before they ban heading the ball?

Alto --the directives are coming from the FA, at the behest of FIFA because it is worldwide. The game is losing its appeal as far as I am concerned and the introduction of VAR will accelerate the process.
I long for the good old days when a player could tackle, the officials made decisions without even worrying about it and, in the main, the players accepted this and there was no big witch hunt in the media.
I saw a Birmingham player penalised last night when he won a tackle fair and square but his opponent ended up on the deck!

Kenedy, who blatantly kicked an opponent earlier and should not have been on the pitch, misses a penalty for a handball which was possibly outside the area and it all ends up as 0-0 and the main talking points revolve around the referee!
