Whilst I agree, in principle, Yates' behaviour is just a manifestation of what players are learning to do within the parameters of the game they find themselves playing now. Players are constantly learning that, if you don't go down and make a meal of every contact, then the ref probably isn't going to look at it, if you do, the ref is probably going to take action and either way, there will be very little action taken against a player over-reacting.Oh I suppose I will risk alienating myself a a bit more from y'all about Maddison and his girly punch to Yates. What the f***. First of all, that punch wouldn't knock over a 14 year old. Yates is a f***ing pansy. He should be thoroughly embarrassed with himself. Having said that, I do think it is a sending off offence. Maddison struck Yates with a closed fist. However lame Yates reaction is, it qualifies as VC and Maddison should have gone. VAR once again a shambles. But jesus christ, Yates is such a f***ing pussy for his reaction. Any number of bad tackles (including Moder's tackle that was only deemed a caution) are way worse than that girly punch. Anybody who supports Yates behaviour should NEVER complain about diving ever again.
This is the 'modern football' the powers that be have created and it's an abomination.
