    No.

    Arguably getting too much that way outside the penalty area. But look what goes on in there ! And, well, if you're a goalkeeper strange rules seem to apply depending on whether it is being done by you or against you.

    I do hate this idea that's come about for strikers in the penalty area that any contact means it's a penalty.

    If you watch a league 1 or 2 game you get a game of football with a few kicks here and there.

    The premier league has turned very soft..look at someone the wrong way and it's a yellow card

    Yes. Except when you're defending a corner.

    I am actually quite amazed by the amount of elbowing, pushing with both hands and out and out wrestling that seems perfectly acceptable to referees nowadays.

    Tackle robustly and win the ball and you are lucky to stay on the pitch!
