Time to outlaw the tactical foul?

I'd say Fernandinho.

Teflon tactical fouler!

Theoretically everything that happens on a PL pitch should be tactical.

Theoretically yes, if players were robots...

Football has emotion, it has players venting their frustrations, players in a losing game that's no longer winnable kicking out at the opponent that's been giving them the runaround.. It has situations of genuine attempts to retrieve possession but instead a foul is made.. It also has mindless thuggery...

Taking one for the team is tactical..

I think there should be a counting of fouls. Some players can get away with many a game without seeing any repercussions.

If the refs started giving a yellow to a player for their 3rd minor foul then it would go
little way to dealing with it.

I'd say Fernandinho.

Third foul automatic booking regardless of the foul would go some way ..

Fernandinho is on a booking every 7.6 fouls ...39 bookings out of 297 PL fouls..

Just as an aside.

A pal of mine was the one who went to the Essex FA in 2016 about introducing sin bins.

It has now been taken on and will be implemented across the FA next season including the Premiership

Ummmmm Are you saying the Prem will have sin bins next year
Or fa cup
Or ?

 

[fernadez]

The letter he got says mandatory for next season across the FA. Unless something happens between now and then it'll include the Prem.

Edit: It's at all levels of football Level 7 and under now as part of national trials. So most likely the season after next.

Sounds like it's only going to be for dissent. And it actually waters the punishment down, because you can get binned twice without being sent off (player can't come back on but can be subbed after the 2nd 10 mins is up).
