This week's poll reflects on the opposition tactics we've been subjected to last couple of games/ that teams indulge in generally (goalkeepers taking an age, injuries enabling 'tactical breaks', stealing yards at throw-ins, standing over free-kick-takers, niggly little fouls to break up play etc etc) and asks- what do we make of all that kind of thing?

I’ve put “outlawed” but only because in recent games, it’s started even while people are still making their way to their seats for the start of the game! Like so much in life, I feel the “don’t take the p*ss” rule should apply. Certain teams this season absolutely have!  |

There's a time for time wasting - i.e. when you're winning towards the end of a close, high-stakes game
There should be no place for diving, crocking, intimidating officials, etc

Outlawed-its cheating plain and simple. Regrettably it seems to have become part of the game. Even simple things like a ball into touch being claimed by both sides, even when its obvious who touched it last. A team good enough should be able to win without trying to cheat/con the ref.

Refs can help but only if their shackles are taken off by the authorities and prefer them to do something about it we can see rather than just adding time on at the end. There is no way that by them doing that the sinners themselves could benefit as well. |

Clamped down on along with commentators and pundits who applaud "clever" or "professional" fouls or use the term "won a penalty"

Where shall I start, firstly when a player goes down feigning an injury the manager calls the rest of the team over and they have a ‘mini’ team talk and this is something we had in the Covid season and it is still used today. Secondly Cairns who went down with a supposedly thigh injury and Robinson had a word to his other players that was picked up on mic. We were well on top at that stage so momentum was lost. Robinson was booked again yesterday for his touchline antics.

Impossible for ref to manage with current rules.
Led by goalkeepers and below par managers.
Will get worse.
If left unmanaged will destroy all the best bits.

Keepers that go down with cramp are really taking the piss.

Keepers that go down with cramp are really taking the piss. I was a goalkeeper and played my last game one Sunday morning on a park in Luton aged 55 when I turned up to watch a game and was asked if I’d got my kit; I hadn’t, but went home to get it. In about 40 years of football, I never had cramp - you make a good point. |

It all started the day a goal kick could take place anywhere in the goal area instead at the side the ball went out of play. There never seemed to be an issue before this. |
