Yet again another spate of suicidal tackles reducing teams to 10 and even 9 players on the park at the weekend.
The majority of these "tackles" involve players completely missing the ball by yards but homing in on opponents legs with full venom - many are under the ref's nose so surely they realise it's a one way ticket to the dressing room even before they launch.
It's a miracle there were no broken limbs - it came pretty close at times.
A straight RED means an automatic three match ban, a weakening of the team in numbers and a selection headache for the manager next game.
I know all the modern game cliches, a mans game, heat of the moment etc but are they that stupid not to realise the consequences - many of the tackles are in uncontested areas of the pitch posing little immediate threat.
So please managers and coaches sort this stupidity out and keep 11 players on the pitch it's what the fans pay for.
