I think we need to move to a more open minded approach to interpretation. Football is moving away from being a contact sport and I think our interpretation needs to reflect this. It is not as clear cut as “was their physical contact”, or not? We need to assess each incident on an emotional and psychological basis, with a focus on gender equality. If a player goes down like a big girl it’s important for us to consider their lifestyle and take steps to be more accepting of it. Give an equal amount of decisions to players acting like big girls. Who are we to say that being a big girl is not correct? Big girls are beautiful too. But skinny models?? YUCK! You are disgusting. The way you look is incorrect. It’s important not to be nasty to someone due to their appearance. I think introducing sticks of celery instead of half time pies would also do the world of good.

Make the 4th official do something constructive other than just standing there criticizing a manager for over celebrating.
