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?
There is a very simple solution BUT it would mean:-
no more moaning
no more debates
no more discussion
no more IMHO!

Wouldn't you miss all that by adopting rugby style skin tight shirts???
