Another ******* stupid bit of fiddling about that no-one wants. Why not do something to improve the quality of the refereeing and the use of VAR instead?

Can't they do both?

FWIW quite happy with them banning knee slides. Not so much to protect professional athletes knee sliding on pristine premier league turf, but to protect kids who will copy them and knee slide on barely maintained, stone-embedded, dogshit-encrusted council pitches.

In that case

Absolutley, all of them ought to be banned.

But again, can't they do all of them?

They shouldn't be criticised for doing one/more good things just because they're not doing one/more other good things.

They need to anticipate things that might happen and ban them beforehand rather than waiting for it to happen then banning it.

ban goal celebrations that involve doing MC Hammer legs type dance. I have never seen anyone do that on a football pitch, but I would hate to, so outlaw it now before its too late
