With the global pandemic comes opportunities to learn from how this virus is transmitted. With this in mind, how would people feel if the powers that be awarded a straight red to any player who falls foul of the disgusting habit of spitting?
Players like Wayne Rooney would never get a game.

Spitting AT someone is disgusting and should always be a red card.
However, heavy outdoor exercise does lead to a build up of saliva and mucus. A sports scientist would probably tell you expecting players not to spit at all during games is unrealistic.

Plus, knowing what players are like, can you imagine how much they would try it on if they knew they could get someone sent of for spitting? Players running to the ref saying they saw somebody spit, then of course at the top level it would have to go to VAR, who would need to decide whether it was a deliberate spit or an accidental slobber.

Players like Wayne Rooney would never get a game. What’s the point in new rules? Referees ignore enough of the existing rules already, so we’d only get more frustrated! Anyone care to tell me the last time they saw a throw-in taken from the correct spot? |
