The biggest problem is that the red n yellow cards hold far too much sway over the outcome of the game. The number one tactic is to reduce the number of opposition.
Most teams are taking frankly pathetic sit down to pizz dives, ankle and head clutches, writhing in agony (when the replay celarly shows no-one within coo-ee) then after the card comes out the critically injured wannabe actor springs to life like he's had a blast of a defribulator!!

Despite the red card for fakers I am yet to see a single faker sent off yet most games seem to be decided byt the ref's cards and most of the time the injury is fake or extremely over exagerated.
Pathetic and makes (for me) even a good game utterly unbearable.

"Kn get up ya kn faking kn w@nker!! Fk this anything is better than this bollocks!" My exact words as I changed channels after the last dive I saw where 'critically injured' Serb player sprang up after the card came out (for the unlucky opponent) after he had his face
barely brushed in a genuine header contest. Serb sheila couldn't hide the smile on his Bacardi breezer luvin face. You'd think a kn Maori doorman had let him have a couple of Glasgow kisses or sumpin.
Any player that is stretchored off then springs back onto the pitch in a minute should be banned from the next game.
It's not even possible to play the game fairly with the readiness to send off and change the equaton.
Until 'soccer' becomes a sport played by athletes - not fit nancy actors - I won't be goin out of my way to watch, coz i like to watch sport - not theatre sports.
Great game to play - but I'd rather watch the paint dry than having to endure viewing another fake writhing soap opera.
Kn girls blouses have more backbone.
