Norwood's on Fire
When you say tactical foul, I'm thinking sawing down a player who's about to break away when you're not the last man. I suppose shirt pulling is tactical, anyhow I agree that it's also a blight but it's also commonly complained about.Tactical fouls are rarely gotten away with? FMD there's enough Martin Skrtel shirt-tugging for a YouTube compilation ffs.
And what's so bad about the corner thing? Obviously diving is of more importance in the outcome of a game but they're pretty similar issues, no?
The corner thing though, you've got to be kidding. There's the fact that appealing is irrelevant in football (unlike cricket), and that the number of goals score from corners is something absurdly low. It's not in the same ballpark.
Honestly, everyone can go on about all these other things but here are the things that irritate the football fans I know, in no particular order:
Diving
Shirt pulling
Time wasting
Defenders getting away with murder at corners/getting away with things in the box that they wouldn't in a million years outside of it
Overprotection of goalkeepers
Poor refereeing
None given goals because of a lack of technology
Man United
We all agree that the game would be better without all of these I'd have thought. But whenever diving is criticised it seems to be a defence mechanism to make out everyone thinks all of these things are okay too. And it's a bull**** argument in favour of a ****ty practice.
