Stop manhandling in football games
SIR - I find it offensive when mostly Premier League footballers ‘handle’ other players in the box deliberately.
A penalty is given if ‘hand ball’ is viewed as deliberate, so what is the difference. Time for managers and referees to stop this ugly part of the game, before it gets into lower divisions of football, and the amateur and junior games.
