Dunno, frogs have quite the leap on them.

But they do change their ways. This wrestling didn't happen, what, 3 or 4 seasons ago? It's crept in because footballers have literally changed the way they mark and attack at set pieces and corners.

Stockport's corner routine was almost a copy of the NFL Tush Push. 2 big lads linked arms infront of Horsfall and just barged through the Orient 'defense'.

Of course defenders are going to try to counter that physicality.

Just glad we survived it.

It shouldn't be beyond the wit of man to referee it properly. If one player knocks another player out the way and that that player's team gains an advantage, it should be a free kick

It used to be. No idea why the daft fuckers have changed their interpretation of the laws.

Why would he not? You seem to be suggesting that a referee actually doing the actions that would put a stop to this stuff is somehow him being a bit weird
Which wasn't my point.
