Tbh I think it is just a case of you mis understanding and not interpreting the content of the posts. Nobody is saying it's a default position. Nobody is looking for cautions.
What we are saying is that, usually, these types of offences are reckless,
@Nij gave a better description why.
Yes, there will be ones where no sanction is needed but in my experience these types of fouls are reckless. Its an
observation, not an attempt at laying out fact.
It does deopend on the games you are reffing I suppose. I am reffing players that are getting paid, in front of paying spectators and the clubs expect the game to be refereed as per lotg. A caution is a caution, and all participants accept and want that. I'd be more likely to have a difficult game for not cautioning an offence and 'managing' than I would for dealing with it as expected.
You arent the only one, everyone has been at the arse end of football too. I wasn't one of the chosen academy boys you detest so much, I have got to L4 on my own standing and initiative and trust me, I also know how to manage a game between 22 hungover chaps who just want a scrap.
