professional foul aka taking one for the team

Just hearing Gary Neville. Normally I think hes quite good but tonight his support and praise for the professional foul is making me spit. It has become a scourge on the professional game aided and abetted by referees who wont take action till several players have racked up 2 or 3 of these. The refs of course have been softened up by these pundits who of course are almost all ex players of recent vintage. It is a major reason Wilf is clobbered so much as he is so often involvd when we get on the break. Team planning is such that it itseems iIs a different man each time. I write in the full knowledge that we are not whiter than white. Naivety has become the abiding sin but I think the balance needs redressing and the next mos irritating thing after diving

I would like refs to be told by the 4th official if the number of such files appears to be a team tacic and for the ref crack down on the next one accordingly. Tough titties if its a certain players first
