It's only Jamie Redknapp that has said that isn't it, and we all know that means nowt, if you are going for an oidd pick in that position, it has to be Mark Noble.Don't get all this talk about what a reformed person he is and how should be in the England squad. If 8 bookings in 16 games this season is reformed, what was he like beforehand?
Yeah, this is a huge pet hate of mine. Ref's don't want to ruin the game, but you actually do ruin it if you allow players to get away with numerous cynical fouls and the like unpunished. If you display cards early they'll get the message.Cattermole really should have been sent off by now, about 4 bookable challenges. Another one where the ref will no doubt say he doesn't want to ruin the game, because it's such a great game with a twattish thug kicking anything that moves.
It's so much worse in the lower divisions though, it just becomes farcical, refs on the rise just don't want to make waves, and their are generally more louts playing.Yeah, this is a huge pet hate of mine.
