I dunno why the people who make these rules don't understand football is a passionate game. Taking your shirt off/going into the crowd = yellow?

Not 'avin it.

Refs should just use their common sense.

They would if the governing bodies allowed them to.

Why don't we just go the whole hog & have scoring goals as a sending off offence.

Only if it's deliberate.

They should introduce a rule whereby saving a penalty is deemed as ungentlemanly conduct and a sending off offence.

We'd stand a chance then.

Quite right.

EDIT: Refs should be allowed to just use their common sense.

I'll never know why running into the crowd when you score a goal was decided to be a bookable offence. Since I've been going to football matches (2001) I think it's banned, and I've always sat in the middle tear (until next season when I'm moving

)

But I'd imagine there to be nothing more thrilling than having one of your favourite players coming to give you a nice hug.

We wouldn't, we'd sky the penalties.

So not only does British TV have to become more like Italian TV, but also British football more like Italian?
