Do You Call This Football Matches ...Players Shoving And Pushing Each Other. ..Not Football At All

No! Those are not the rules of football. A game without body contacts is as impossible as it is unnecessary as it is boring! As far as I know, some pushing is part of football game. If you are running towards the ball, and an opponent is also running towards the ball, you can guess where the opponent might move to, and then move there sholder-fast when the player comes there, you push them off the way to the ball. Though it will be you who is pushing, it can be said that 'it is the other opponent who is coming on your way'. It is part of the game. knowing how to push is part of the skills!

If you are still finding it hard to understand, think it this way: in football, the rule is more against 'obstruction' than 'pushing'. If you ran accross the path of a running player, he can push you to the ground, and it will be your fault!

You are saying 'touching should be minimized to accidents'. But not only must 'accidents' happen regularly in such sports (unless we are constraining the players up to the point of making the game boring), it is very difficult to tell an 'accident' from an intentional act of necessity. You can't tell when someone is pushing because he was trying to use the hands to balance themsels etc.

You want to spoil football even further! Football is boring because since goals are very rare, it is often the referee who determines the outcome. We have this issue where the players dive and fly upon the slightest body contacts, fooling the referees! For most of people, a good game is one that is lesser and lesser authoritative, which means the lesser the rules, the better! It is the PLAYERS, not the REFEREES who should decide the game outcome.

Earlier, football was good in that its rules were not much different from those of rugby! So we don't have this nasty 'diving' thing! But latter, too much restrictions were brought in because of cowadice!

"Action : strict rules anyone found pushing and shoving marched out of the match immediately. "
These are not games rules. These are supermarket, parliament or streets rules!! Of course this will make games as boring as watching pple queue!😆

A game is just that: a game, not a serious business.

Please do more research, and you will know that one of the biggest problem in football is that referees cannot tell when a player is diving from when they are genuinely pushed or attacked! So too often, a game is determined more by referees than by players!! The solusion is obvious: Only ban those moves that result in serious injuries. What is wrong with a game of pushing?? I mean wrestling is also a game!
