Just watching QPR v Leeds.
Gnonto just tried to slide tackle a QPR player. He missed and it was his first foul. But in this day and age it's classed as yellow. And he received one.
My question is...
Do you prefer how the game is played now where any strong challenge or missed tackle could be met with a yellow card or go back 20 years when more leeway was given?

Re: Fouls and Yellow cards
Depends on the the challenge for me. Pisses me off when a blatant yellow isn’t given because “it’s early in the game”. Doesn’t matter if it’s the first minute or the last minute, if it’s a yellow card worthy foul then give the booking. What I don’t like is petty yellow’s early on for a tiny shirt pull or grab of someone’s arm (unless it’s obviously stopping a promising attack).
Tho I do enjoy watching YouTube completions of tackles from the 80s and early 90s

I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?
