I also like back in the day, say back in the day, feel that we're dinosaurs.
We are.
I also like the interaction with the referees.
which you don't really have these days because it's very standoffish and the referees are all, the referees are mic'd up.
Back in the day, the referees were not mic'd up so they could give you a bit back.
So you would give them a bit of stick or a lot of stick, and they would quite often, depending on the individual, would give you some back.
And be quite sarcastic.
Yeah, oh, you're not having a great game yourself, Burleigh.
There's not that interaction now because all the referees' mics are all recorded for obvious purposes.
So things like that, subtle things like that, I think I've sort of missed out the game.
Dawn?
Yeah, all of what the boys have been saying, but I'd like to see physicality return to football.
What really grinds my gears is when I see a player who doesn't back himself to either do a trick or try and get himself out of trouble, just fall over on top of the ball and referees just go, oh, that must be a foul.
And they give free kicks.
It really winds me up when I say that's not a free kick.
That's a player.
just sort of semi-giving up, semi-cheating himself by not willing to do a trick or not backing himself.
I'd like to see challenges be made again.
You know, legit tackles where 50-50 is not, obviously, as Craig said, back in our day, because I committed some horrendous two-footed tackles and deserved every red card I got.
And, you know, there was a million, you know, bad leg breaks back in the day, not what all meant, but because the tackles were absolutely crazy.
