Your points don’t make the proposal by DW any less relevant though CDH.He is right that fouls like the ones he mentioned are spoiling the game, whether it be in a Rovers game or not.There is way too much cheating nowadays, holding, shirt pulling etc and it is ruining the game.Players must practice blocking runs from corners and surely that can’t be right.

Fair point Hound. I used to be opposed to cheating until i accepted that there is no longer anything that can be done. Players are not punished and refs are not brave enough to apply the rules or consistent enough to apply them properly. I seem to recall a ref, (maybe Mike Dean?) giving loads of penalties at the start of the Premier League season for shirt pulling at corners etc, when they had a mandate to stamp down on this stuff but that fizzled out after about 5 games. Not sure why this didn't continue. Seem to remember it being a follow on from the World Cup, it just seemed to fizzle out.You’re right about everyone cheating even Rotherham kids were at it in the youth cup, obviously it’s part of coaching now

JT [perhaps] was going on to score , create a chance or generally improving his Teams onfield position go one-to-one with the keeper and blaze it over the bar...
Tbh BRR - I am looking at any solution to the endless hacking down of players just to stop them [perhaps] going on to score , create a chance or generally improving their Teams onfield positionWhat galls me is where incidents like Lincoln CB last week completely scythed JT [who had completely done him] down. JT [perhaps] was going on to score , create a chance or generally improving his Teams onfield positionCB stopped that dead - and instead of that we got a free kick by the home dug out with all their Team back in position and he got a YellowThats where I would like to see a sin bin option however it comes. It was never going to be Red and so Ref pulled a Yellow which imo was not sufficient punishment and where I would like to see the Ref given a 3rd option - which may return "a bit of the game to us"
