Not off the pitch shenanigans, billionaire owners, Sky, FIFA etc but on field stuff.
Trivial as you like.
1. When taking corners, players having the ball overhanging the quadrant by 0.00000000001mm. Then failing to clear the first defender. So what's the point?
2. Tactical head injuries. Seen this creep into all levels of football over the past couple of years. To give their team a breather, player goes down clutching head when contact by opposition player was nowhere near. Ref has to stop play, as good as a timeout.
3. Tactical fouling. Players can't burst forward more than 2 ft, getting away towards goal without the "tactical foul" being administered. Don't think Juninho would have been half as successful in today's game getting tripped/fouled every 5 minutes.
Time for injury timeouts (players leaving field for 5 minutes) and sin bins for tactical fouls.
