But that's ********. Why should a book ruin people's enjoyment?
An example from a Sunday last season - Blue is 3-1 up. There are 20 seconds on the clock, and Red's striker is taken out by the 'keeper. It's DOGSO. Of course it is. But I'm going to blow the whistle after the penalty, it won't make a difference, all I'll do is make myself and referees in general look like unfeeling arseholes by sending the poor bloke off. I don't need to. It won't affect the game, it won't affect the way they look at referees except positively. No-one, not one of the 22 on the field plus benches, would agree with a red card at that point. So why do it? Because of Law? **** Law at that point. I'd rather 22 happy players and handshakes all round
