Unacceptable aspects of the game today

1. Surrounding the referee to dispute every decision
2.Players cheating eg diving, feigning injury,etc…
3.Players refusing to retreat 10 yards for a free kick,
4.Players picking up the ball and walking away with it after conceding a free kick or throw in,
5. Players kicking the ball away before a throw in, free kick,
6. General time wasting,
7. Weak referees, scared or incapable of giving decisions,
8. Shirt pulling in general play and at set pieces,
9. Defenders’bear hugging’ and deliberately blocking (obstructing) opposing players at set pieces,

All the above make football less enjoyable and possibly reasons why people (like me) are falling out of love with the game.
