after watching an old football video the other day a thought came to my mind.
seeing ron chopper harris flying in made me think whats happened to the agressive side of football. a couple of weeks ago andy cole got sent off for a so called stamp when all it was was a little tap on the bolton defenders knee. it seems nowadays you can get sent off for just about anything.
ok i dont want to go back to the seventies where you could batter a player and get away with it, but it would be nice to see a little more leniancy from the referees.
anybody agree?

At the top level there's so much money in the game that players need to be protected from being put at risk of serious injury.
It doesn't help when fools with all the self-control of a 6 year old *coughandycolecough* go around trying to hospitalise people whenever someone makes a dodgy tackle. Just a shame for him that he's w***ed away his chances of ever playing at international level again. Nobody to blame but himself.
Anyway, the main point, look at lower divisions and things are usually more physical. Then again, the tv argument is probably envolved again too.

Just look at players like Vieira and Roy Keane, and you'll see how their tackles and challenges prove that footy is a man's game!!
Its not a poof's game, its just that you can't do anything anymore. You can't lift your arms up, or anything, it will be getting ridiculus soon (Can't spell)
If someone slid in and took you out, what you gonna do? Get up and walk off? I doubt it.

ITs more down to the TV coverage these days.
