Defenders with their pants pulled down 09:14 - Sep 29 with 2509 views | hoops_legend | The goal Smyth scored yesterday got me thinking about this trend in the game which is extremely frustrating and isn’t good for the game When a defender gets caught with their pants pulled down by a striker and they go to the floor - the ref will almost always blow for a foul. What is that about? Why do the refs find the defenders so precious they can’t even take a challenge The smyth challenge was absolutely fine and should not have been chalked off Thoughts on modern light weight fouls given [Post edited 29 Sep 10:26]

Just 2 players going for the ball. Smyth is so slight that a draft would throw him into a wall so I'm not sure what the ref sees there? | |

At this point he, the tough and ruthless centre half, became the rough and toothless playground bully / tart who calls the teacher when the little kids laugh at his attempts to look hard. 'Oooh, Sir! Sir! Jenkins minor said a rude word, Sir! And he pushed me, Sir! And He's got my ball, Sir!' 'I'll deal with this. Is your father coming for drinks at the club later...?' It was a goal, all ends up. The ref got it wrong. Their defence got it wrong. The lino's call was made unsighted. The whole thing stinks like Godzilla's nylon grundies after a hard day flattening Tokyo. | |
