An unfortunate trait introduced when foreign players came into our game over here. If you look at videos of games back in the 60s and 70s you'll see tackles that'd make you shudder yet players just got on with it. But as soon as the foreign divers appeared everyone was at it to the detriment of the game. Of course not all foreign players are divers but so many of them were and are and it's now become part of our game unfortunately.God, how I miss Bony and his physicality. Our players go down at the slightest touch.
I'm not talking about diving, it's just that they lack basic physicality and resilience.But as soon as the foreign divers appeared everyone was at it to the detriment of the game.
