I'm glad it isn't anymore. Many trips are relatively minor in RL. Better left at the officials discretion as to severity.

I agree it should be punished, but people say, it's dangerous, but why is it more dangerous than an ankle tap? I certainly can't recall anyone getting seriously hurt by a trip.

Surely increased risk of breaking someone’s ankle with a trip?

Yeah, i guess, if it was a real swing the boot and taking a good kick at him, but very few trips are like that. But as I say, I'm all in favour of them being penalised, every time.

Sam has previous for it. Is it instinctive?
