brb- at L2 level, all you have to do to nullify a 'flair' player, is to instruct one of your team to administer GBH -- the probably punishment will only be a yellow card (( not even a blue one ! )) - with any 'luck' the player becomes crippled and you don't have to worry about their threat for the rest of the game........I think it's what centre-half used to do in the early 70s......
.... When Hurtado was being 'serviced' by the Swindon defence, I told my sons, next me me '' Swindon defenders are not stupid - they've been told to chop him.''
