Careful DBTS, I have been saying that for quite a few years now, and have been howled down every time I have brought it up. But I will say it again. If the umpires umpired to the rule book, free kicks would go up until the coaches realized the umpires are serious about enforcing the rules, and then the coaches would force their players to play to the rules, resulting in a reduction in free kick numbers. Another benefit of this would be a huge reduction in the number of around the ground ball-up's, which will not please most coaches, because stoppages are where they think they show their "tactical genius".
