Feels like before every single corner nowadays....

the ref feels obliged to stop everything to "sort out" the holding and scuffling and warn players to cut it out. This is a total and utter waste of time because everybody knows that once the ball is in play and he'd actually have to give something he (or she, obvs.) will allow them to hold and scuffle all they like.
