If you love and understand this game then you will have grown to appreciate just how hard this job is. Managing 30+ alphas, all testosterone-charged, slightly dehydrated, with cortisol-reduced thinking processes, a baying one-eyed crowd and a beautifully arcane set of Laws, to be done at pace. To get to the top of that and stay on top. Enormous effort. I'd love to shake his hand and say thank you.

@@stephenrossiter2679 Come to think of it, American football should have a version of the sin bin. Commit a personal foul penalty, you have to sit for the rest of the drive (or the next drive, if that play was the last of the drive). Re: soccer, I'm more interested in a sin bin to prevent "professional" fouls. Often a team that gives the ball away in midfield will hack down an opponent and purposely earn a yellow card, so they can prevent a quick counterattack and let their defenders get set. Commentators and coaches will call those "good" cards, a phrase I think that should never be uttered. Goals that arise from a professional foul binning should make those fouls less appealing.
