Change the Laws?

If, like me, you are fed up with the ridiculous amount of holding that now takes place in games, you might enjoy the above article. 

When you've read it, post a suggestion to solve the problem.

I would suggest a change is needed, not just at dead ball and corner kicks, but across the game in general, where holding and pushing is standard and subject to the vagaries of referees' and VAR opinions on the force and duration of the offence. Strangely, at the same time, forceful and legitimate tackles get too readily penalised.

I've always wondered why refs hold up play to go and warn players while waiting for the corner. Just give a penalty or free kick straight away. They know the fucking rules.

I agree but I think if there are two players pushing and shoving each other before the corner and the ball isn't in play the ref should be able to issue a yeiiow to both players. No penalty or free kick. That might help.

It's a joke now and some refs condone it, just look at Lego Head's team.

It comes to something when I was begging for a CFC equaliser.

Rice against Chelsea at the weekend. Had both arms wrapped round his player. Knocked the ball onto Raya with his elbow. 

somehow no penalty. If that were us they would have given two and if they missed let them take another.

It’s become a joke, and we’ve borne the brunt of it. Our players get pushed and shoved, yet we’ve given away penalties for pushing back. You could say it is our own fault for not being street wise, and you’ll probably be right. Even so, it makes football boring and shit to watch. Same as taking five minutes for long throws. We may as well go back to the days of Don Howe, Graham Taylor and Dave Bassett.
