    Changing the Laws of the Game

    Some changes have been stupid, others have been good for the game e.g. the new laws reducing interchanges and protecting the marker of the ball.

    In my view we should, at long last, take a leaf out of the other football code books and introduce a send off rule. My preferred system is soccer's yellow/red card system. A red card would also trigger a match review panel response. I expect it might help get rid of the appalling behaviour we saw tonight, which under present conditions may well be punished by the tribunal but does not affect the actual game in which it occurred.

    In principle I agree with you dimelb - but one of the umps would have to activate the card - and when they don't even penalise such behaviour now with a free kick, would anything change??
