We have been penalised a lot for this offence in the area recently when the ref has had his eyes peeled around our goalmouth. It is very easy for both ref and liner to miss 'em though, and we all know there could have been many more given away at each end of the pitch by sneaky defenders in every match from way back when. I hate to see it happening, but without having extra officials in place around each penalty area, which is obviously a non-starter, I would like it to be an automatic red card whenever spotted. This would make defenders think twice before grabbing shirts, and if it resulted in the practice being eradicated would make it less of a lottery re. the result of the match.
What does everyone think?
