Behave. you are a mod/admin now, such commandments surely could be construed in a negative light. It's a contact sport. indeed it is, but rarely with the face, specifically, hands in the faces of opponents. If he punched him then fair enough but a red card for that would have been a shambles. 8 game ban for ferguson for punching scharner in the body? There's a serious problem in football of a lack of respect from both sides. both sides of what? both sides of players? players officials? clubs and the FA? fans and fans? it goes on and on and on. Look at rugby and you simply don't see it. dont see the money, prestige, skill, or hero worship on the scale of football in whatever code of rugby you mention. The League match on Friday involved a dust up with proper punches shown on both sides, 10 minutes in the sin bin to calm things down and the game went on. rugby (whichever) is an upper body contact sport in every instance. and in some cases when punches are thrown, knees are used or studs are raked, suspensions after the fact along with meaningful fines are apportioned. Referees don't explain their decisions to fans (cough, certain famous facists didnt explain much to their victims in the history of mankind...cough cough) so I doubt they explain them to players either. Maybe if they treated them like adults they'd get better behaviour in return. (MAYBE if video evidence was used after a crime in football and was properly punished then a message would be sent of zero tolerance to the individuals involved. as it stands, too many players get away with breaking too many rules. wearing the 'right' shirt appears to help. is the 'right' shirt a point of debate in the ruggers? (whichever code?)
back to good old responsibility again.
amazing.
