Penalties - grow some balls refs

If refs had the balls to give penalties for holding in the box, maybe we wouldn't see the thuggery of the likes of Fellani out of sheer frustration.

Its even worse in CL games when there are extra officials behind the goals who are apparently visually impaired. How can they not see defenders getting opposition players in a headlock or holding their arm with two hands to stop them running for a ball or jumping?

Occasionally the ref goes over and points a finger and tells them to stop it but when they carry on he suddenly cannot see it? No, they are too gutless to do what is required and apply the laws of the game.

They are quick to disallow goals for a tug on the defender or a hand on the shoulder when jumping to head the ball but they do nothing about the man handling in the box at set pieces?

Its ludicrous what goes on in the box and i agree totally something needs to be done. Rant over!!
