Haha!

I reckon this should be allowed in football if someone dives in the area. A punch up to see if a pen is given. That'd stop the buggers!

That would last about 2 seconds. Footballers would be to chicken to do this, and would fall down before the first punch.

Bit odd, normally all the team members from both sides wade in for a full on free-for-all.
The refs also used to pull the player's jersey over their heads so they couldn't see the foe.

Looked odd that no one was making any attempt to break it up ....

There is never an attempt to break fights up when they initially get going. Part of the game and it gets let go. Refs only try to break it up if the fights going no where

Told by an American a long time ago (not sure if it's true or has changed) that they only step in if one of the players falls over.

The refs don't intervene. It's part of the entertainment. Can really spice-up low scoring games.
Take note, Prem.

That is V good

Makes me laugh every time, and I can't watch ice hockey without thinking of it. With David Letterman doing the "Hit Somebody" vocals, no less. :catfight:
