The average mileage of 11 players is 7-10 miles per 90 minute match, only 2 substitutions. One ultimate tactic is to reduce the number of players on the opposing team to 10 or 9, a great advantage. Knocks are exagerated to try to red card or 2 yellow card (equals 1 red card) the opposing team's players, because a red card eliminates one player altogether. Overall, contact is not allowed anyway. So like it or not it draws attention to an infraction and as such is an opportunity for a penalty kick. Soccer players are not whining, they often just heal fast when refs don't make a call.<br /><br />There is no record I can find of 7NEWS Melbourne reporting on this. The "reporter" or stage hand is not in the frame. It's hard to tell if it's even Avi Yemini. When Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs was assaulted there was a clear record of events.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
