Support your local team. Premier League is like Marvel Football. It's not real, it doesn't matter. It's just a TV show. A very decent TV Show but it really doesn't matter.

There needs to be a pundits licence, likes the way there is a coaches licence.

Most of them do not actually understand the laws of the game or the guidelines given to the refs to administer during games. Pundits will see a decision that they don't like and say its wrong. When the referee actually did the correct thing, as per guidelines. This undermines everything that they are doing and deflects from the fact that the laws are inadequate and referee's have too many guidelines to adhere to. But that's the problem when you have people complaining about consistency.

You cannot have consistency and common sense. When one man's handball/foul, is another man's "play on'.

I am solidly of the opinion that there shouldn't be such a thing as a good yellow card or a good foul. I can't think of any other sport where you can benefit from committing an infringement (potentially basketball).

Having a dangerous counter attack and being cut down 40 yards from goal isn't much use to the attacking team. A yellow card and a free kick 40 yards out is pretty useless.

I think either a sin-bin, or a free kick from the position of attacking teams choice is the best option.

Or to be really out there, an indirect free kick from the penalty spot? Defenders can get behind the ball too.

Football is very popular there but they don't tend to support their own. Even during the World Cup last year, there and Bangladesh were rocking up to big screens wearing jerseys of other nations. Indians were going to Qatar to support England. It's very weird.

India generally have a very poor sporting record. They have 10 Olympic gold medals in their history. It was only really in the last 20-25 years that they sorted themselves out in cricket.

If football ever got big, the BCCI (Indian cricket board) would wield their power and try to crush it.
