RowlattsFox Posted 18 April 2021 Share Posted 18 April 2021 We will eventually get to a stage when defenders can't get close to attackers in fear of there being contact. Contact isn't a foul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to what I've read past players had a totally different reaction to fouls they took the view never look like a player has hurt you get up and carry on even if it hurts like hell.I guess that's also why the ended up with career ending tackles.

Society changed and football followed. I know, I think we've gone from one extreme to the other. We don't want players rolling around in "agony" at the slightest contact but nor do we want players just going out and trying to maim opponents as used to be the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reflects society really with every event or word spoken they'll be a reaction, too often an over reaction to it with the help of social media which in the past wouldn't even have caused a ripple.
