Having personally played at what I consider to be a pretty high level, my belief on waste-grabbing and various other things is you give more than you get. You stamp your authority on the game and let the opposing player know that you're up for his shit & will come back worse. I once played against a former Socceroo and by the 80th minute we had each other in sleeperholds, all without the refs noticing the constant abuse (physically and verbally) we were throwing at each other :lol:

Football, particularly at high levels, is way way more ugly than widely believed to be :lol:
