4 Arsenal fouls before the balls even near Raya but let’s not worry about that. Literally Trossard and Lewis-Skelly holding their players while not looking at the ball, Soucek judo thrown and Rice is pulling Summervilles shirt before bear hugging Marapanos into the goal… complete farce
 
What about the proposal of players being not allowed in the 6 yard box before the ball is live? I quite like it.
It’s an interesting one but all that’ll happen is a group of players on the edge of the six yard box, and a short corner running into the six yard box. Then imagine if there’s a toe over the line! Already have the offside debacle atm and I cba with more line drawing by VAR.

I think easiest thing to do is just say any holding of a player is a pen/foul - players will catch on when there are 3+ pens in a game and stop. Where else can you grapple with a player and not get blown up for a foul. Outside of corners and set pieces if you grab another player you get a foul given, don’t know why it isn’t the same for set pieces.
 
People need to accept decisions.. You're never going to keep everyone happy, because of emotional decision making anyway.
