Yep, I thought so too

I was -1 then. But it's still my favourite game ever, packed crowds, patchwork pitches, tackles all over the place - proper football.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the game as much now, but in a completely different way.

No slide tackles, tackles from behind etc - it's too sanitised for my liking
