19 Red - No Not Roulette - Football

I find this quite astonishing! A Spanish referee issued 19 red cards in the same match. The game involved Spanish rivals Recrativo Linense and Saladillo Algesiras in the regional first division of the southern province of Cadiz. With Linense leading 1-0 a fight broke out between two players ,which quickly turned into a brawl, followed by a pitch invasion. The referee abandoned the game and fled the pitch. In his post match report he wrote that he had sent off 19 players. Mind you, I watch Match of The Day every Saturday night and if I was a referee I would probably issue 19 red cards in every game. The amount of obstruction, holding, pushing, shirt tugging, elbowing and leaning-on and bad tackling that goes on is disgraceful and that's just from one corner kick.The problem as I see it is, that the money involved in the game today is so great that it has raised the game to a new level of competitiveness. Therefore, these blatant fouls have become an accepted part of the game. Referees today have no option but to turn a blind eye otherwise they would be continually stopping play and the game would not flow. This would ruin the game from the spectators point of view but, ironically, they have helped to create this cash driven sport by allowing themselves to be ripped off by exorbitant admission prices.
