    Frederick Wall, former Football Association secretary, called for an FA inquiry to be held regarding the rise of ‘rough play’ in recent years. He believed that a change in tactics and formation to include the position of ‘defending centre half back’. The ‘stopper’ as he called it ‘has completely changed the style of play and has been conducive to unfair charging, a dangerous practice.’

    Mr Wall’s theory fails to stand up in the case of James Horatio Thorpe as the Chelsea players involved in the attack were in a striker’s position and attempting to kick the ball from the goalkeeper’s hands. The tactics of rough usage were entirely from the forward line.


    anybody could tell me what is that about?
    the move from center half to become stpper on 3-2-5 is bad things?
