I don’t like players surrounding the ref or whatever but booking Mac Allister there and not Gallagher is just

Ruling booking players for waving yellows should've come in 20 years ago so that's a positive at least.

These new rules will last about 4 games, after 2018 world cup and the super strict penalties from corners it was the same in the league for a couple of games then sacked off

Didn't they start trying to do it before and then bottled it? Be interesting to see if they give a 2nd yellow for doing it or kicking the ball away when one of the sky 6 inevitably does it..

My general impression from first weekend is they'll be a flurry of bookings in first 20 minutes for all manner of minor offences....and then hardly anything at all.

So hard not to get booked if you show dissent but much harder to get sent off unless you do something violent or ridiculous.
