It’s officially now isn’t it, football is now a non contact sport, if you fart it’s a foul these days, pathetic, and kills the game !
Is right Billy. It's disgraceful to see grown men acting like little children every time they get tickled. No, not a misspelling, i meant tickled. The amount of players who will deliberately look to fall over a trailing foot or run into a flailing knee or arm is disgusting. Nine times out of ten the players would find they have a much more likely chance of effecting a positive outcome if they stay on their feet.
Having played both Rugby Union and football during my life the level of manliness is like chalk and cheese. Basically put, if you acted like that playing Rugby your own team mates would be slapping the F**k out of you! Not only that, in Rugby the referees control the game and the players have total respect for the referee. You will never see 4-5 players in a referees face in a rugby game, they'd all be sin binned.
I blame the football referees, they are very weak minded individuals. If they started booking players for simulation it would all stop. I guarantee you it would stop, the referees haven't got the balls, they are F***ing mincers who are killing the game.
