I would suggest that most who have played and referred accept this; Blatter is a self publicist, with no true interest in the game, his comments help noone but himself - getting his name and picture in print.

If its bad but not too bad you get a yellow and 2 yellows is a red which means you're off and receive a ban. If its a really bad tackle then you'll get a red and a longer ban. Eventually all the dirty players will receive bans for collecting too many cards as well plus the clubs can be fined too. The regular offenders will also be more closely watched in future as well.

Larry-NYC (U10912824) posted Mar 13, 2008 I think that today’s football has a bigger issue with xenophobia than tackles. Everywhere you turn to for football scores/news in Europe, there is a frequent reports of racist behaviors towards black players in the sport, why is that not on the front line for Blatter?
